If the water is cold that what causing the trauma,(sorry about the spelling earlier). Cold water can shock the fish and can cause a similar problem to what you have.

OKay so the temperature in the aquarium has raised to 24 and he looks a lot better. He finally swims and breaths normal again 
I did a waterchange the day before yesterday. I probably trow in a little to cold water. Stupid.. luckily everything looks alright now

I kind of have problems with my temperature. My catfish have demolished my big heater. So now I have 2 smaller ones hanging on the left side. The left side on the tank because of that is around 25/26 and if u go to the right side it drops to 23/24. My polypterus are mostly on the left side chilling in the plants or laying half on land / half in the water on the background decor.
Do u think It is better to put on heater on the left on the right side?
Water circulation is all you need, move the water in the tank it should equalize. The heaters could be to small to keep it at a good temp then you'd need to get bigger.
Glad to hear that.OKay so the temperature in the aquarium has raised to 24 and he looks a lot better. He finally swims and breaths normal again

How big is the tank? Buy a aqueon heater 300w in amazon, its under $25 also buy a heater guard to protect the glass heater from breaking so the catfish cant break it.
