Ok. Another thing eliminated. I am still thinking a chloramine issue.

Guess I'll check tomorrow. But still hard to believe the other 4 tanks are fine with the new water. I'm gonna guess temperature of new water. Only thing that could make sense. I never mess that up but maybe I did.

Temperature would impact all the fish, not just one species.

What's part you are in California? I knew most tap water PH in California is between 8.2 ~ 8.4 and hard water high alkaline not 7.0, PH 7.0 is natural and equal as pure dinking water, Tap water in California never that good.
 
Just retested it with both pH tests.

High pH test lower than the 7.4 on the chart.
pH test 7.0 possible 7.2 But more like 7.0

I took pictures but the app doesn't upload pictures, and my laptop won't loaf them either.

I believe you, while trying to find out the cause you should start aging your water like Aquafreak suggested and I would do 10~20% water change each time.
 
I was very nervous about doing water.changes again since my last incident. Completed ally water changes with zero issues or problems. All fish appear to be happy and healthy.
