I have two pumps in my tank that keep the bottom of the tanks water constantly circulation to keep things suspended and give a "tide changing" effect to my fish. Usually the one on the left side of the tank is where all the deads get stuck to (feeder shrimp pieces, food, sea weed, fish killed by puffers) I noticed today that the bigger of my 2 Figure 8s was stuck to the side of it. When I moved the pump, he swam off and ate several shrimp until his belly was full. I went down a few minutes ago and he was sucked to the side of the powerhead, so I put him in the "mini-fuge" on the side of my tank. (It's a modified guppy breeder I use when I have problems with fish) He just sat at the bottom of it and it looked like he was struggling to breathe.

Is he dying or just full?

He's doing better, I think he just ate too many shrimp.
