Well!..I have learn the hard way, from full estalished tank to BB tank. I've remove all the gravel and take out 50% of water.

Don't ask why! I just wanted to have BB tank but it end up un expected incident. I never thought Dats would be very sensitive fish. I've own many fish and in the hobby so long, but never lose fishs like this before. I guess I've learn the hard way.

Thanks for the help guys/girls..but i can not save it. Here is a list that I've lost today.

(2) 7" indo
(1) 3" indo
(1) 6" thin bar
(1) 12" indo
(1) 13" wide bar...

:cry:6 Dats in one day..:cry:

Here is the tank before I take the gravel out.

Now all in the freezer. RIP guys my fault.:screwy:
 
WTF? That shouldn't have affected them. It looks like you have a large wet/dry under the tank for bio-filtration.
Did you add dechlorinator when re-filling the tank?
I don't understand what killed all the fish......
 
Wow... Just wow... Its probably a case of a tank not 100% established/cycled.
 
For some reason... That tank looks like its just setup and u just threw the fish in.. Its too clean.. I guess there was not enough of bb in the tank...
 
that sucks sorry for the loss
