So I just got my 1st fish, a pair of clowns. One is swimming around fine, heres a video of the second. It just sort of lays on the sand. Ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5ppm, 8.3 ph, 1.025 salinity, 79-80 degrees. Is it just stressed out?

 
It probably stressed from being new if everything else is normal with it. Our male still hides similar to that at times.
 
Bought them both yesterday from a LFS. I can't really tell if it's breathing abnormally since I'm not quite sure what normal is. It seems to be breathing a little quicker than the other clown

Every fish is different some stress easy some get over fast.I moved mine from a 29 to a 125 one of my clowns stayed in one corner for over a week before he ventured out. Just keep eye on him
