Do a check on your water parameters and let us know (i.e. PH, Anmonia, Nitrite, Nitrate)
Do you buffer your PH with Coral Chips in your filtration setup?

i think its something to do with your water change. try doing WC again, but this time direct from the tap. add in anti-chlorine & salt. give more aeration. do a ceck on ammonia & nirate pls.

lastly, all the best.
