hi

since about the first day i have gotten them, (i have had them for a year)

they have been closing andopening there mouths in the water

ex:

when they stop to rest at the btttom of the tank, they sometimes might open their mouths a llittle and then close them repeatedly until they start swimming again

its only a slight gesture sometimes you cant catch it.

but i wanted to know if there was something wrong.

It sounds like they're drinking water (hopefully the water is clean).
