HELP RD and Jag acting weird

[Stalk3r]

My RD and Jag are bot just laying on the ground and only move if I open the lid thinking i have food esp the RD he just lays on his side, but the Mayan cichlids i put in last week swims around fine? whats going on?

 

[cacichlids]

Tank size, water parameters?

Whats the size of the RD/Jag and mayans?

 

[Calihawk]

Laying on side is NEVER a good sign...nor is it reversible...maybe

125G, RD 8", Jag 9" Mayans 3-4" i just changed the water yesterday because they started acting like this? But the Mayans dont seem to have a problem.

No one has any idea?

The jag just went crazy scratched himself on the gravel and went then settled back on his side?

Test everything nitrites, amonia, nitrates, ph temp see if anythings out of wack. if not maybe the mayan introduced something to the tank?

It seems this has to do with whatever happened with the water change start by checking the water with the test kit, check to see if you forgot to do something after the water change like turning off the heater by mistake. Did you forget to add dechlorinator sometimes people forget to do this, I have once or twice in the past 15 years.You might want to check your equipment make sure nothing is broken.Is the mayan pushing them around maybe they are just threatened by him.

Did you change dechlorinators? I lost fish switching from Prime to other brands to save a little cash. Of course that has a bad habit of cost a person a lot more.

The tanks been cycled for a year now and i have used the same dechlorinator and did not forget to use it this time did everything like i usually do, its weird.
