Is this behaviour normal of ywg?

[nanomania]

He behaves like this for few hours at least 3-4 times a week

Is he breathing normal? Is he sucking air from the surface and then blowing it back out through his gills? I can't tell for certain from the video.

Lol. He's looking to find a way out and escape. Lol. He looks fine to me.

I'd like to know about the breathing as well. Typically I see this behavior from them when they are stressed out.

No, stays in.does this for a few hrs and back to normal. Most of the times it happens when I feed food soaked in meds or before when I use to add garlic to tank or prazipro

It breaths heavily, but then everything seems normal. Sometimes it does it after dark. It's been going on since the bangai died in the tank (been months). But then he looks normal.. what can it be?

 

[Humblefish]

I think he's probably fine.

Happening since month. There is some heavy breathing, but then he becomes normal. Still has red mouth though.

Mine does that when ever he gets separated from his candy cane pistol shrimp. The pistol sometimes moves over night to a new spot without telling his buddy.

I also associate it with mild stress.

Yes i still cant fig out about why the stress, as there is nothing for him to worry about. Tank jus has a fire goby other then him in a 130g. Been 6mnths and im yet afraid to shift the fishes of my old tank to current 130g.. lol... Feel like trashing it...
