Caryl Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 A lot of them will do that occasionally. Not only do they burp but they let go at the other end too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat692 Posted April 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Thanks, was hoping it was just a case of gas, and not something more sinister :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatBrat Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 They usually do that when there is insufficient oxygen levels in the tank or when the water quality isn't very good. It will be taking in a gulp of air from the surface not burping, and then usually they will let it out on its way down to the bottom, or soon after. Cheers, CatBrat.
