My snowflake clown (female) started not eating, and breathing heavily yesterday afternoon, and into today. I've tried feeding it pellets, flakes, soaked in garlic, but she won't even touch it. I usually feed her frozen mysis shrimp, but I ran out and haven't gotten a chance to buy a new pack, so that might be what's causing her not eating, but I thought anything that's soaked in garlic is appetizing to any fish. (All other fish are acting normally, including the other clown)
Also, she is breathing heavily, with her mouth, so that makes me even more worried. I've attached a video of her below, so please watch and let me know what you think.
Here are some info:

Here's the video. Please excuse the dirty glass, the shaking, and the camera not able to focus right on the fish.
