what size is the tank?

gasping for air is indicative of toxic water and/or insufficient oxygen.

your water parameters look fine. But when is the last time you vacuumed your gravel or cleaned your filter?

 

[orandafan12]

29 gallon.
Last gravel vacuum was saturday and i havent really cleaned to filter media. When do i usually suppose to clean it

 

[Bubble_B0y]

usually once a month, clean the filter media.
Just rinse, wash and squeeze it in water from the tank (during water changes)

When you added new water did you add conditioner? I know sometimes people forget

 

[orandafan12]

I always add conditioner.

How is your surface agitation? Bubbles don't allow much oxygen into the water, it mainly comes as a result of gas exchange from water movement.
