ok so today was water change day .. changed water on 5 tanks .. but having problems with the 150 ... the rays are doing fine and 2 larger dats are doing well .. but my 2 smaller dats are not doing well at all .. both are breathing really fast and one was laying on its side on the bottom of the tank .. im kida stumped on why just the 2 small dats would have such a hard time... any ideas? ... didnt treat the water with anything .. never do ... and always do water changes the same .. water test fine nothing out of normal ..

water smells fine .. and my pbass fry are ok .. and my jags and oscars and red hooks and royal clown are doing fine ..
which is why im stumped ...
should i toss in some stress coat? i have some sitting around ..
checked and zero chlorine ... but only the dats are affected ... they have always been a little more sensitive .. but never this bad... kinda worried they are not going to make it thru the night ..
well one is stuck in the filter intake ... (it hides there sometimes) but is really not looking good .. other one is laying at 45* on the bottom of the tank looking worse .. i guess we will see in the morning ..
i have not lost a fish in so long .. and these guys are 2 of my fave fish .. had them for 3 or 4 months doing the same feeding and water changes every week or 2 times a week .. and no problems .. 20 or more water changes and this one they act all messed up .. they have been eating good and everything has been normal .. grrr ... they where costly fish .. and i hate loosing fish for seemingly no reason .. especially when there are 2 motoros 2 NTT's and 2 AT's and only the AT's are acting sick ...
