The Red Tailed Black Shark looks lethargic and not his normal self. Tail fin has lost the bright red colouration and looks pale. Some plants have brown spots on them. Is there a connection? Was it something to do with the water change?

Again the shark looks unhappy, floating near the top of the tank, barely moving.

Added some new fish and Stress Zyme.
