I recently performed a partial (i have plants and large rocks) bottom clean 25% water change. All the fish freaked out. Then they all settled. A day later, all my mollies are acting stressed (minimal movement; heavy breathing). I added more salt when i did the water change. Did i accidently over salt? Could it be something else?

Peace

Hi, I don't know that much about adding salt to the aquarium. I don't use it.
However, you might want to check your salinity levels.
When water evaporates, the salt doesn't and can build up in the water.

How much salt did you put in? Could be osmotic shock; A sudden change in salt concentration.
