I think this may be an air issue but am VERY confused..... I am using a spray bar and its just breaking the surface and im getting loads of tiny bubble floating around

My RTBS is content ano issues he found a home and stays down.
2 Gibbs are fine and seem to like it move a round a little

all 6 danio's are up on the surface but look to be just enjoying the swim.

2 Opalines are coming up once in a while and nipping att he surface then go down for a few mins.....

Im struggling now to work out if there gasping for air for a bit or there hungry. as they keep attacking bits floating around (Allot on the surface, looks like small dust bits)

I fed them this morning on about 2 large flakes i crumbled a bit and all the danio's attacked. The RTBS waited for a bit to drop down and the opalines didn't seem too fussed but finally ait some. (Gibbs were sucking bogwood)

Did i feed enough (Flakes are about 1-2cm large..)
 
Opaline Gourami are labyrinth fish which means they have an organ that allows them (and other gourami) to breathe air, this is why they seem to gulp air at the surface, all gourami will do this and it is perfectly normal.

Feeding you should feed as much as your fish will eat in a couple of minutes. I've found my Opalines will eat pretty much anything but particularly like daphnia (live) as a treat or bloodworm.

Not sure about the danios as I've never had any.
 
The light has brought the danio's down and when the light goes off up they go!!!

I think one of the gourami's feels a bit lonely or is shy. the other seems to just keep swimming.

as to my RTBS..... either he is plotting something or seems content by himself.....
