I know that there is a term for it, but my blue spot jawfish appears to be breathing very heavily and not moving. I know that it probably means he's dying. I am so distraught about it and don't know if there is anything that I can do.

Why do fish do this heavy breathing before they die?

Is there ANYTHING that I can do?
