Hi there,
just wondered if other people ever noticed their axies gills jerking back regularly. My dark boy has now finally begun living lower in the tank- as a young babe he could only float. Now he is a juvenile i guess and his gills have become fluffy and they twitch or jerk often. Is this a way to obtain more oxygen maybe? any ideas?
 
yup. thats exactly it. they regularly flick their gills to brush away the water and get some fresh oxygen round them.
 
what charlie said, theyre too lazy to move to a new spot with some fresh water lol
