Rapid breathing

Hello everyone,

I bought a Dwarf fuzzy Lionfish who is really small and put him in my 50L tank and I’ve noticed he was breathing rapidly.. the only aeriation in the tank was the filter return pump which is a cheap 200L/h pump which was hardly moving the water. His side fins look like they are almost decaying but I’ve only had him 24hrs.. he’s in the tank on his own and there is 0 ammonia and around 0.25 nitrite. I know the nitrite is high but I was going to do a Water Change tomorrow.

I have since moved a circulation fan from my bigger tank to that for him and the water is moving much more but he’s still breathing fast. He’d been hanging around the surface a lot today and that’s why I decided to move it and he has since gone to the bottom of the tank swimming around since I added the fan. Do you guys think this may fix it? Thankyou!
