It’s a temporary set up I’m in the process of of building a pond right now but this just happened out of no where will he pass it on his own I also read that a vet can aspirate them he’s still eating and response is fine
That is good the fish is still
The setup looks good. I would double-check all your plumbing and fittings going into the tank. Somehow, your water is getting saturated with too much dissolved oxygen, perhaps you have a small crack or hole in the plumbing that is causing a venturi-like effect pulling in outside air. I would not attempt do aspirate, Pima's do not do well with stress and this could likely kill the fish.
