did you remove any gravel, large water change etc....keep your eyes out because dats are sensitive fish.

I use sand and I do about 15gal of water changes every 2 weeks.

I think a water change every week may help ,have you checked your water parameters?15g from what size tank?

40 gal bowfront

Do you have a water test kit every dat owner should find out what your water parameters are. double your water change schedule every 5 to 7 days i always pick a day like Sunday and that's water day and sometimes i do more .
