I have no idea this is the package and why the tabs look like. The ph used to be a little higher that that but it went down. One of those fish in the picture have started to come around and liven back up but the other is still not doing so good

Was the tank cycled?
They have been in this tank for over a week and were perfectly fine, swimming around swimming in the bubbles and current. Then like I said I put the root tabs in last night and that is what I woke up to
Was the tank properly cycled?
I don’t know what you mean by that. If the cycling was the problem wouldn’t it have affected them before the root tabs. All I done was change the tank size over a week ago and most of the water every thing else except the plants is the same
I'm sorry, but unless you answer some of my questions I can't help. I don't want to assume too many variables and give you the wrong advise.
If it's only carbon in the filter, than the tank is likely not cycled, and therefore ammonia will be present. ANY trace of ammonia is toxic to fish.
Okay, I'm going to stick with it being ammonia poisoning, not any fault of the root tabs.
I would perform large water changes daily using Seachem Prime or Seachem Safe to detoxify ammonia.
