the silver dollar refuses to eat and breaths somewat heavy i put him in a smaller tank and he stopped breathing as heavy but he was so big i put back in the main tank he usualy eats flakes,massivore pellets could it be possibal for high tempature or api salt in the tank for too long cuased this as for his white upper mouth it looks like he bashed it in the glass could this have caused the problem any help would be appreciated
 
What could help is tank size, temp, water params n tank mates. Could be anything from other fish in the same tank spooking it

it would constantly be harrassed by my larger female silverdollars and chased by my payaras was in a hundred gallon right now hes in a different tank with just small tetras his breathing is better but he still wont eat
