Have you tested your tap water?
Do you use dechlorinator?
How big a water change did you do?

Can you post test results of all the tanks, indivdually please.

ditto Alasse

probably something to do with the water - did you just move, possibly the water parameters changed

also if you have a heated tank...adding too much water of the wrong temperature can cause you fish to go into shock...

I add cold water to my tanks, no more than 35% if filling quickly. If doing a 50% WC or more then i add half new cold then drip fill the rest (with cold to give the fish time to adjust and the heater time to catch up.

I never add warm water as my hot water comes through copper pipes
