The tangs should be plump looking when you view them from the eyes rearward. If not you are underfeeding them. The yellow needs nori daily and the hippo is a meat eater.
Regular unflavoured nori soaked in selcon (get it from an LFS) and garlic extreme. Overfeed until they get back into shape.

Definatly feed more! I can only assume you don't have an out of control green hair algea problem. There is a chance he may have an infection or parasites causing him to breath rapidly.... I am not a fish doctor though, someone with more knowledge should come on to help.

But are any other fish breathing heavily indicating low oxygenation?
