Hi Sean! Can you tell me (well, the list, really) what sized tank you have,
and how many fish you have in it, and whether the tank is well planted, and
what sort of filtration you have, and what your water temperature is?

On the face of it - it sounds like the fish may be overcrowding (the gasping
stuff after the addition of more fish) but I could be totally wrong - hence
my request for more info.

Regards, Andrew Boyd
