Guppies tend to spend a lot of time in the upper water. However, if they are gulping air, you might need to check water parameters or increase the agitation of the surface to increase the dissolved oxygen, particularly if the water is over 82 degrees.

They are doing fine I never have problems with that tank. The water is always pretty close to perfect since its a 10g and easy to care for.

That's the guppy version of a high-five. LOL
Not really. They need perking up.

If they do that so much and are just staying there at the top and not moving much, there is a problem with your water. Check your water quality. Make sure you have enough oxygen in the tank.

I thought it was like a high five before lol. They are not always up at the top like that. But they are always together. Sometimes I see my guppies in the rock caves hiding. Well more the male then the two females.
