have three quite large golfish in a large plastic tank. they are normally

normally are? they are not gasping for air or anything like that.

They may not be gasping, but there could be low O2 that has made them come
to the surface.... or they've gotten over their shyness. Is there a
fountain, filter, aeration going on in the tub, or is it still water?
