One year later I'm having this same issue with my tig and geos just did a water change and now my geos n tig are breath hard like if there choking but all my other fish are good dat loaches ray Flagtail n pike.... I added salt n warmer water but no much cuz one loach had ich but I've don't this before...plenty of oxygen in the tank it's 300 gallon with a 100 gallon sump with 3 large sponge filters....I don't want my tig to die either haha
 
i didn't read through everything or any of it but is your tank filled with micro bubbles after a water change? do you live in a cold climate?

could be that the water is supersaturated.

There was actually alot more micro bubbles in this waterchange than usual but they are all gone now...n I live in San diego so temperature USUALLY in the 70's degree
But the tig is looking alot better i increase the aeration as much as I could, geos are still having the same issue tho...
 
It could be gas bubble trauma. I always fill a barrel or spare tank with cold tap water, heat it with aquarium heaters, overdose with Prime, and test for total chlorine before I use it.
