Jen asked:
I changed his tank water Wednesday and the next day he was swimming erratic and his fins were leaning to the side. He hasn’t touched his food and he either floats to the top or stay s at the bottom. I think the water wasn’t good, so I changed it again, this time with purified bottle water and water conditioner. I think I stressed him out though. I’ve read a few things and it’s saying that he just might be stressed or overfed (which I have done), but everytime I go near the bowl he’s goes crazy, like he’s scared of me. His color is looking not so great either but he doesn’t seem to be dying per say. Any suggestions on what to do?
Let me say that he is in a 10 gallon tank with a light and the water is fairly warm. Not cold. He has two fake plants and a rock to hide under as well.

you’re not supposed to change the water entirely… the rule is to leave 1/8 of the old water in there.
you’re basically throwing him into a new environment instantly and that stresses out fish easily
