Foxface breathes air

[the droob]

Hi guys ,my Foxface is allways at the top of the tank taking in mouthfuls of air and passing it through its gills ,has anyone else had a Foxface do this ,any ideas why.

My foxface does that as well, especially after being fed.

No idea why he does it, though.

I think it is pretty normal for fish that love to swim. My Foxface and Regal tang do it too, especialy after feeding like mentioned. Get a bubble at one end, swim to the other end while letting them out, repeat endlessly until the Tunzes kick back on. I think they are running laps after dinner to trim those excess pounds and reduce belly buldge.. )
