How are your oxygen levels? Usually when fish go to the surface this is an indicator that there is a lack of oxygen/ surface agitation

Immediately Change water. Add aerator if you have not done already. Find what is the issue with water

definitely either high ammonia or low oxygen, do a water change and add more filtration!

Unless you are feeding them right that point , taht’s a sign of extremely bad water parameters , change 30 % of the water , and add more aeriation .

Looks like they’re struggling for oxygen. Do you even have a bubbler or anything in there???

Looks like theres a film floating on the surface, this can reduce gas exchange as well, you need some surface agitation by using a bubbler or you can point your filter return towards the surface so thst it disturbs it.

Some people are so rude… everyone learns somehow, you’re doing SO great asking for advice – as long as you take some advice and learn, you are doing amazing – hope the fishies feel better soon, I’d definitely say it’s the water quality/oxygen in the tank xx

Op mentions they changed the filter, as in bought an entirely new one? Most of your beneficial bacteria lives in your filter media and it may just be gone.
