Hello I was shocked this afternoon after doing about 30% water change in my 120 gallon. All my fish; 4 peacock bass, a red tail, and a angelfish are now all gasping at the bottom of the tank. Does anyone know why this is happening. ph seemed a little high added some ph lower for the tank, did not seem to help. Does anyone have a solution

You've got nitrite, which you shouldn't have. Your nitrate is zero which is puzzling, because after a small 30% water change, which you report are only fortnightly, i'd have thought you'd still have a positive nitrate reading. Your ph is out of whack and your attempt to suddenly correct it could cause issues. There's also a possible dechlorinator issue, did you use it? How long as your tank been up and running for?

As you can see there are a lot of potential causes for your fishes problems.
