Spending To Much Time Gasping For Air

[Randomitity]

So one of my girls has been gasping for air and is the only one that isn't eating this will be the third one to start this but the first 2 were introduced after treating the water for fin rot and the current one was one of the first ones in the tank.

Basically what is happening is she will stay at the surface and gasp for air while none of the others are doing this. Then she wont eat and is turning pale. Honestly I don't know what to do. I am using melafix to help against the fin rot, used nutrafin aqua plus to treat my water, temperature has stayed at 26 C 79 F.

I am not sure what seems to be the problem here.
Is she new to the tank? If so... maybe she is a little home sick or something.
Maybe do a water change and see how she reacts.

you have recently upgraded them right? did you cycle the tank/filter at all?

Betta use a labrynth (spelling) organ to breathe and apparently melafix can cost their organ making it difficult to breathe.

I write remove her asap if she is gasping
