So about a week or 2 ago i noticed the early stages of ich on my 2 clown fish and my royal grama. First it was th ewhite spots and then it looked like there was a whitish hayze on parts of the body. the tail fins were nipped but they seemed ok. After observing their behavior for a while i realized that they were bring bullied by me read and blue fairy wrasse. So naturally i wanted to take him out. MUCH easier said then done. I basically took apart the whole tank and chased this poor fish around it for a good hour and a half. 
needless to say i felt SO guilty. And still do:headwallblue: all the while stressing the crap out if the poor wrasse but also every other fish in the tank so finally i captured him and acclimated him to my 20 long frag tank that has been transformed to a holding tank for the time being. The 20 is fully cycled and has 4 small peices of lr and a ittle sand. Not a ton at all maybe 10-15 pounds. Now after placing him in there he has had those brown stripes on him 24/7 trying to camoflauge himself, doesnt ever swimm around and is breath EXTREMELY heavily with his mouth wide open. he hasnt eaten in 2 days and i am starting to become terrified that i may loose this fish. does anyone know what is wrong or if he is just scared? does he need more lr to feel confortable? If possible i would like to make him a permanent resident to the frag tank but i need him to pull through. how can i help him?
Water Parameters:
salinity: a lottle low 1.021
pH: 7.8
ammonias, nitrites nitrates: 0
kH: 8-9
temp: 78F
Any thoughts would be helpfull.
i also read that they get really stressed when they cant bury themselves but i tried to pile all the sand towards the middle before he was in the tank just so that he could burry himself.
