Did you add water conditioners such as anti-chlorine and anti-choloramine during water change?
Add more airstones if needed. Do keep us posted.

50% water change is way too much. Next time change 10-20% will do.

Sorry about your Aro.

How long ago was the last water-change, before you did that 50% one?

I suspect pH shock.
