my little boy, Cornelious, does this thing with his mouth that looks like he's yawning. he's been doing for a few weeks and im not sure what to think about it. i change the water every week, about 50%, and change the filter about every other week, if that tells you anything... does anyone have any ideas?

That is normal mine do that. Sometimes they do it when they are annoyed or frustrated, my Philoctetes used to do it as a sign of irritation, I have a few pics with him doing it.
It looks like they are mouthing off at you!
