My guess is that your water is significantly different in some respect then what he is used to, and he's not adjusting to it as well as the other one. I'd test your alk as well, and be very wary of adding buffer if your alk is already high.

If you see any cloudiness or sloughing of the skin, I'd highly expect brooklynella, but so far I don't see any symptom of that besides the breathing and not eating.

As for the dog in the background...I'm guessing Lhasa or shih-zu?
haha for the dog in the background, its a Toy poodle lol. He the oddest dog!.
now what do you mean by the "cloudinness or sloughing of the skin"?
