ever since I got my clownfish about a 2 weeks ago hey have been hyperventilating. I will attach a video so you guys can take a look for yourselves, but I would like to know if it is a disease, and how to treat it. I have a silver bellied cirrus wrasse in the tank as well and it looks perfectly fine. Thanks in advance

Couldn't get video to load. In the meantime a few questions. Were they breathing heavily when you got them? Any unusual behavior in the clowns? Swimming toward a wavemaker, hiding in shaded overhands, ect

Not any unusual behavior. They looked fine in the store but ever since acclimation they have been breathing pretty heavily. I’m going to test my parameters, but I’m thinking their gills might be clogged since my wrasse isn’t hyperventilating
