LoL Most fish don't have the ability to breathe from t heir mouths like one person said... Instead they come to the surface where there is more oxygen. Oxygen enters the tank from the surface and only if there is good waterflow can get to the bottom.
Also as someone else mentioned you should see if they'll eat because they may just be skimming the surface for f ood particles. Keep in mind that if they eat it doesn't eliminate any factors but decreases the chances.
Many times it's swim bladder disease or their stomache applying pressure to their swim bladder. I would say if you have a water filter already it's probably not oxygen as fish use VERY LITTLE oxygen and there is generally quite a lot available in even still water. Also it's not always easy to guess which fish need more and which need less but fish from lakes generally need less than fish from rivers and fish from rivers need less than fish from streams...
