Got A New Guppy Today...

She's been in the tank for roughly 8 hours. She looks great and is even eating but seems to be breathing really quickly and hiding out in the plants. Her gills do not look red or inflamed. I got a couple others at the same time and everyone else is fine. Water is fine. Plenty of filtration/aeration. She's heavily pregnant so normally I would attribute her hiding out to impending labor but I've never dealt with this 'panting' behavior in an otherwise healthy looking fish. Any thoughts?

Just out the lights for a while, give the tank some food and let her settle.

Yeah, that's what I did. She seems better this morning, swimming around and such. She's still breathing heavier than I would like...

still leave the lights out to keep her calm
