Yellow Tang breathing fast

[MetaKnight101]

Yellow tang breathing fast? Is this too fast for normal or is it okay he's been breathing like this more lately. In the past months its usually much more calmer.

That looks normal to me.

Rapid breathing that would be of concern would be 2-3 times that rate.

Video was too quick for me to tell for sure - looks a bit thin to me. Has it been losing weight. I think folks often don’t realize how much tangs need to eat; they, like most herbivores, are inefficient metablizers.
