The only other change I have made, other then 20% water changes was I removed all my live plants.

take water out of the tap and test it see what spiked in the tap water cause right now i think it was the chlorine that to me.
Hovering at the top gathering more air is most likely the small amounts of oxygen in the tank. And chlorine depletes the oxygen in the water.

I will take a quick video of my tank right now and post it up for you. I have two power head filters on the tank, along with a air pumped hooked up to a power head. Water is 80*. They SHOULD have more then enough oxygen.take water out of the tap and test it see what spiked in the tap water cause right now i think it was the chlorine that to me.

The fish were poisoned.. What changes have been happening at your home.. Have you been painting, sprayed for roaches.. Blah blah.. think outside the tank.. Has your water smelled funny recently?The only other change I have made, other then 20% water changes was I removed all my live plants.
Gar are air breathers it has nothing to do with Oxygen so let's kill that...
i saw the other video and i seen the amount of movement on the surface only thing is the amount of chlorine in the water can deplete the oxygen just seems very odd that they would just drop dead all of the sudden. Maybe its not the oxygen in the water something else i agree though they were poisoned.I will take a quick video of my tank right now and post it up for you.

I live in a apartment complex. So, anything that happens outside of my apartment is beyond me. I am just as clueless there, as you are.
however, I also have a 55 gallon tank and a 10 gallon grow out tank. I do all the water changes, the same way in all 3 tanks, at the same time. Not a single fish has died in my other two tanks.
currently in my 10 gallon, I have a 5" silver that I grew from a egg sack. He is as healthy as they come. I also have a 5" red tail shovel nose in there. Also healthy but he randomly lost a eye one day.
I would think if it was infact my tap water, wouldnt these be the most "liable" to go? considering they are young and not as resilient?
uploading video now.
Just a thought (maybe a stupid one I know) but you say the only change is taking the live plants out.
Could it be a ph issue?

Thats not stupid at all lol i thought the same thing maybe some gasses were released from under the gravel after you took out the plants.
here is a current video.
yah, my silver attacked my jar. Every once in a while they get in a little fight. He will be fine.
