its usually a sign of bad water conditions. have you checked ammonia nitrates and nitrites? best advice is to do a water change and add some melafix

I agree, Check your water parameters and do a water change.

You said changed the water. Did you do a partial water change or change all the water? You want to avoid ever changing all the water at once.

Thats ok stick around here ask questions like you have and we will help you out as much as we can.

Do a search and read up on cycling a aquarium. It will help you understand what goes on in water and gravel of a aquarium. With the right water conditions your fish can live for years.
