Still gasping

My aro still gasping (slow motion open & close mouth) despite efforts for the past weeks changing water, feeding much less, etc, as suggested by bros here. When I increased aeration by turning on additional air pump, gasping more intensed. Off air pump better. Did a search on the net/forum only reason I can think of is that internal gill could have been damaged. Otherwise behaving & eating normal. Will it ever recover?

It seem like habit. My aro also doing that. Been doing it for alomost 1 yr plus. Everything ok.

It seem like opening the mouth and closing the mouth.

You could also try some epsom salt(in a small dosage....ard..1 tablespoon)
