Last couple days it's been acting like this but Monday I went to bed it was all happy and eating

 

[Callum121]

Seems like it just can't get up and swim anymore

I'm not sure what else to do I have taken him out the dt and moved to a smaller tank after fw dip I've taken some water from tank so it's a bit shallower with a temp of 28 hopefully it will pull through

I would assume tank was very small from video, I'm no expert but definitely would be be my first opinion, starvation would by number 2 assumption. Lack of water and necessary equipment to maintain an aquarium

At a guess :)

Yes, just as advice.. I would not add any live stock until you find cause of the fish death, again I'm no expert

Any chance someone attacked him?
Maybe at night?
how bout Mr. Puffer?
Super quick deaths are either attack, or parasite.
I’d just keep watch on others.

Sorry to see. I'm afraid this fish is moribund and won't survive. A variety of issues can cause this. However, the rapid breathing means the fish is unable to extract enough oxygen from the water: low dissolved oxygen, bacterial gill disease, protozoans like velvet or gill flukes.

At this point - you want to go into damage control mode to ensure your other fish are protected in case this tang has something contagious.

Sorry - this is unclear - However - your description is that of a moribund fish. Which will die. Agree with @Jay Hemdal the concern after this is the other fish
