Sick Bala Shark

[Crisper1]

We have a 55 gallon tank with a 8" bala and 3 plaeco's and some small assorted fish. we just did a half tank change and now our bala is doing vertical loops .... any advice never seen this before.

by half a tank change, do you mean you moved things around or did you remove and replace things? Have you done any water tests? if so what are the actual readings?

Doing much better now. Forgot to plug the heater back in... Tank temp is comin back up. Also added some warm water. PH is a little high put a little PH down in and the shark has calmed down and swimming much better. My bad i was in to much of a rush when i did it on sunday. that will teach me. Thanks for the quick response.

Welcome to AA! Glad to hear he is doing better. I will suggest not messing with the ph. Stable ph that is consistent is far better than trying to adjust ph to achieve the "perfect" ph.
