Sand bed

[727lighthouse]

Hi everyone! Is it bad to siphon the sand bed? I cleaned the sand bed, then next day my six lines wrasse breathing heavily and hide under the rock all day. I have 1 more yellow tail in the tank and he is okay. Thank you everybody.

If you do it regularly, yes.
If you clean occasionally, do parts at a time.
If this was your first time, you may have stirred up some noxious areas.
Carbon and water change if the fish has not improved yet.

This may not be related. When was your last addition? Quarantine? Have some white light pics and a video of the fish?

Inverts fine? If snails and other fish are perfectly fine, I doubt this was a water issue.
