Fish unhealthy

Ive recently had my Hippo tang, Red stripe angel, Lionfish, and Clownfish unhealthy> they don't seem to have any apparent diseases, but slight eating issues. They are acting very differently and have very fast breathing. Any suggestion on what to do and what it is?

It sounds like you might not have enough oxygen in the water. Make sure the top of you want is getting disturbed by your return water.

What size tank do you have? How long have you had the fish? Did you QT the fish?
