Two days ago I added a Bartlett's anthias to a 15 gallon Quarantine tank. And I had the misfortune that last night my power went out for about 3 hours. I have a battery backup for my MP40 in my main display but nothing in my QT so the fish had to suffer through that with no water movement and I suspect a temperature drop. This morning he looked fairly stressed but as the day went on he has been eating very well and seems to swim energetically. However one thing I have noticed is that he is breathing fast. Is this normal for this fish? (quick opening and closing of mouth.) I can post a video if that would help. I just fed him and he was very excited to eat.

Thanks!
