The fish is panting because it is low on Oxygen because the water is either too hot or bad. Please do a water change ASAP. The basic rules for keeping fish are :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every fish tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every fish tank needs to have at least 50% of its water changed every week. If you miss out on any of the above you are doomed for failure and you will be replacing dead fish almost constantly.

The most common cause of death and illness amongst aquarium fish is poor water conditions. There are basic rules/principles that have been established that must be observed in order to keep fish successfully. Those rules are very often ignored by pet shop employees who give bad or misleading advice to gain sales. The basic rules are as follows. :- 1 inch of fish needs AT LEAST 1 gallon of water (3 gallons per inch is far better). :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs to have at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If the above rules are followed fish stand a good chance of survival provided the special food and water requirements of the individual species are observed too. I can guarantee that failure to observe the above basic rules will result in the fish having constant health problems.

The fish dies. Fish can not breathe .. They do absorbe oxygen through there gills. Gills are small openings on the side of the fish's head. Kinda lik ears.
