Hi guys, I have noticed that my bichir fish has been acting abnormal these past few days as it doesn't look to be much active or healthy as it used to be. It tends to float idly & goes up every once in while to as if to take air. It feeds but not as much as it used to before & it always seems to open & close its mouth as if it's gasping for air. The other fish in the tank ( one frontosa & a pleco) seem perfectly fine. Note that I recently moved it to a new tank that's when I started to notice this on it.. Any help or advice please??

I would say just test your water or have it tested. And also plecos are not the best to keep with bichirs as they like their slimecoat. Just another thing to think about.
