Mine does the gulping thing only after he eats though. This flapping at the surface was new today. It could very well be a gill issue although I don't know what it could be from. I haven't added any new fish, no corals are sliming. He still seems rather stressed. I've turned the lights out just in case he isn't having "fun" doing this.

My regal tang would pick up hermit crabs...swim them to the surface, and then drop them.
Then it would race back down to the bottom to grab the hermit again and do the whole over again. On top of all that everytime it sped back down to the bottom it would kick its tail so hard water would splash all over my lights and water would pore down the front glass.
Had to get rid of it.

My Foxface does the gulping thing, he'll sit up behind the powerhead and grab a mouthful of air and then "chew" on the bubbles as they escape through his mouth. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one with a "special" fish!

I have a Potters Angel that keeps trying to imitate my Clown pair by hosting a Fog Spawn. Its as funny as heck as it just can't seem to get that wiggle down.

My achilles goes to the surface and flips water out of the tank with his tail. I'm not talking a few drops, I'm talking great puddles on the floor.
