My fish have started to breathe hard, but it only seems to do that when the light are off. Should I put a air pump and only run it when the co2 and lights are off.
Need help with hard breathing.

Only when the lights and c02 are off? Do you do anything else when turning everything off for the night? Maybe close the lid on the tank? Turning off the fan in the room thus raising the temperature in the tank and making breathing harder? Just some ideas.
Do you have a LOT of plants?
Plants produce oxygen and take in co2 during the day, at night, they release co2 and take in oxygen.
A bubbler would help a lot.

ok thanks all for the help I will get the air pump set up for a timer so I will come on when the lights go off.
Co2 gets turned off at night, so I can just have the air on a night. I am hoping that will fix the issue.
Might want to look into an increase in temps as a possible suspect too. E-Man already eluded to this.
