What's your water parameters?

 

[shutter13]

test your water right now

there is obviously something wrong

 

[FormulatedFire]

ammonia: less than .025
ph: 7.0
nitrate: about 75
nitrite: .5

doesnt hanging round near the top usually mean a lack of oxygen?

 

[rchan11]

Your nitrate is high. Do several 25% water change and vacuum your gravel, then test your water again.

Did u cycle the tank? Do the water changes, make sure the filter is creating a good size current? What type of filter you got on the tank? If it's only for a 10 gallon, remember P's are messy fish.
