Well at 85F I'm certain you have lack of oxygen in the tank. Any reason you're running it that warm?

Yes I'd say that's the reason it's breathing heavy. Try to supplement with air stone if you have it or point flow at surface until temp comes down.

Most people keep their tanks at 78F plus or minus 1 degree is fine.

Reduce temp adding ziplock bags of ice with air stone added. While temp may play a role, a video of fish will be of help to see anything you may have missed. Photo is dark and hard to tell anything
