first the specifics:
salinity is 1.05, temp 76F, its 45 gl,

i have 4 figure 8s, 2 about 2 inches and 2 at 1 inch, there is one pleco (2.5inches) and 7 bublebee gobies

i did a 50% water change yesturday

the one that isnt acting right is one of the bigger guys, he has been like this for a few days. he has mainly been swimming at the top of the tank, he hasnt been eating nothing it seems, he has lost his colour, i got the two little puffers on sun, they are not the problem since he has been like this since fri, and it seems like sometimes he is struggling to breathe.

any suggestions?!?!?!!?

thanks

Please remove that pleco! It is strictly a Fw fish & will not do well at all in there, for long-term.
