I did a water change on my tank in my room, and I took out more than usual. I had to because I removed the large piece of holey rock I had in the tank to give the fronts more room, and they always freak out and go face first into it when I turn the lights on.
So anyway, moving the rock disturbed the junk in the tank, and I think my arms in the tank stressed them out. On top of that, I fed them earlier. So my water change ended up being about 60% on the 125. When I put the water back in I did i the same as always, then I left to go to my parents house.
When I got home my Tiger Nasuta(tang featherfin) all my calvus and comps(4) and 3 of my Wild Fronts were all breathing rapidly and sitting on the bottom. I put my hand in and could just grab them and they wouldn't move or try and get away. So I was pretty worried at this point.
I really didn't know what to do at this point so I added more Chloram-X and I doubled my epsom salt. I just figured the ones that were breathing hard were dead and I was just trying to save the rest. So I went to bed and checked a couple times throughout the night. No change.
This morning when I cut the lights on, everyone was fine. The ones I left for dead were back up like nothing happened.
My theories are 1) my water I put back in was cold + food + stress + I changed habitat too much 2) I didn't put enough chloram-x in plus what I mentioned above 3) The smaller fish beat the fronts to the food and over ate + all above.
