    It might just be that it went into shock because the water was to cold (or to warm) a sudden adjustment in water temperature when changing fish water will throw the creatures into shock. Try to keep the temperature the same when you change the water out. You can always do like they tell you to at the pet store and put the fish in a big plastic bag with some of the old water and set it into the new water so that the temperature change is gradual and not sudden.

    Hope this helps.
