if it appears to be gasping check your water quality .. the first
suspect is ammonia...

do a partial water change 30 -50 %
if you have any sea / kosher / pickleing salt add a level teaspoon for
every 100 gallons of water.. don't add table salt

post back with more details..
Size of tank/pond
type of filter
water temps
water test results

A water change will be helpful if there is a water quality issue. I'd add
the following recommendations...

1. Be sure to dechlor the new water
2. Don't add salt
2a. without knowing what your current salinity is
2b. because salt is not a cure all
