I don't have a filter because they live in a bowl not a tank. I know black moors are sensitive to dirty water, but I changed the water yesterday, so it's clean. My black moor is always almost at the top of the bowl sucking in air. Help!Is she okay? I bought two new fish, one red cap oranda fish and a black moor goldfish. The other one comes up occasionally comes up for air but swims most of the time, so I'm not worried about him. She swims sometimes but she's usually at the top.
