Changed the filter today and they are either not moving and and not eating or they are swimming like crazy. The one keeps turining on to its side and then swimming again.

They may be stressed so try some of the drops that you can get at any pet store and Wal-Mart sells them also.How do I know what to do for my fish. They are not acting as they usually do. Need some answers?Most likely your ammonia, nitrites and nitrates are bad. At least one of them. Test your water. Change 25 to 50% of the water. Then you should probably do another water change tomorrow. You need to do 25% water changes every week. Hope I helped!
edit: What is the size of tank and how many\what kinds of fish do you have.How do I know what to do for my fish. They are not acting as they usually do. Need some answers?Even in large tanks some partial water changes need to be done on a weekly/bi-weekly schedule. Also you are probably overfeeding them a bit. What kind of fish do you have? How big a tank, things like that we need to know to help more.
