Question on a Jardini

[yhknelly]

Had a quick general regarding a jardini. I just got a new Jar ..looks really healthy swimming normally. but it keeps opening and closing its mouth. does that mean hes having trouble breathing?

you need more oxygen, add a powerhead.

in what way is he opening and closing his mouth. does he do it near the glass like hes trying to bite or is he gasping for breath. if hes doing it near the glass then i think he is doing this because he is new. if he is gasping for breath then you need to add more oxygen.

yeah, i find that water changes can do this momentarily for a few mins
. add an aerator too, that would help.
