I completed a routine 20% water change today (I do them weekly) for a 55 gal freshwater tank. My fish are now at the top gulping for air. I did a water test for nitrate/ammonia and the levels are normal. I also did a smaller water change again thinking it might be a dissolve O2 issue, but that isn't helping either. I'm a little lost as I haven't done anything different than what I have done for the past year. Anyone have any ideas? Feeling really bad for my fish. :(
 
Can you tell us more about your tank and inhabitants?

did you forget to add water conditioner?

I've done this before and found mine almost gasping.

Temp match? conditioner? What is your water source? Any major rains or flooding?

Yes the temperature did match, and I did use water conditioner - I use API Stress Coat. Water comes from tap. There was rain a few days ago.
