Default my foxface

Does anyone know why my foxface fish would go to the surface constantly and he looks like he is eating air. We are pretty sure the tank has lots of oxygen in it. Everyone is healthy and even the foxface, he is just doing this weird thing with the surface of the water.

some advise would be great

I know they cant breathe it, but he looks like hes eating it..and theres nothing on the surface for him to eat..

will try feeding him and see if that helps.

My scribbled rabbit does the same thing.....I just think its playtime. He gets tired of chasing the mimic tang, then blows bubbles for a bit, then goes after another fish.

Watch for any other odd ball behavior, resipratory changes, eating, etc. Sounds like you're safe from the other postings.
