give us more info.

have you tested your water, how old is your tank, how big is your tank. what else is in your tank...

First question, have you checked all your water specifications, including temperature, ammonia, nitrite's etc? Check your salinity level. If all tests good, you may have to let nature run it's course. How long have you had the fish for? If it's a new fish, that may be half the problem there, it may be stressed.

If what the other reefers suggest checks out ok look into making sure you have enough oxygen in your tank. Should always have a quaritine tank on stand by.I'm leaning towards fish added to early after cycle, or not enough oxygen. Never take any measures or treatment untill you know what's happening :) goodluck

my clown was like a drunk and breathly too fast i check my salanity and ph is ok and my tank is 30G. my tank is 2 months old. last week a have an vacation for 1 week my friend fed them more times. then the following day i change my water in 20% after my vacation. i dunno what to do to my clown... one more thing i forgot the heater to turn on last week maybe that's the problem...
sorry for the grammar i'm full of stress right now to my 30bucks clownfish...

Turn the heater on... to about 78 degrees...Do another water change cleaning the gravel best you can.....and you many want to wait a couple of weeks to add anything else...Sorry to hear about the fish buy you are going to need thicker skin to stay in the salt hobby...

Could be too much feeding, therefore test for ammonia. Heavy breathing could be to slight ammonia burns or ich in the gills (Look for small white specks on the fishes body).

If its over feeding do another 20% water change. Do you have any other test kits?
