My dad woke me up this morning to tell me he unplugged the filter because it had stopped working. I was still half asleep so I thought he meant the new air pump I had just bought. When I really woke up an hour later, I saw that he meant the filter. I found 1 Tetra gasping for air and ready to give up on life 
The three others seemed fine and were at the bottom, and the last tetra went up to get air, but came back down to his buddies like normal.
I did a large Water Change and clean the filter. The Intake was clogged and its working now, but my poor tetra looks bad. It's still at the surface, very slow. The left side looks normal, but the area around his gill on the right side is too big, like he's missing a chunk and is red.
Please adivse! I've only had em for 4 days, so its possible he was just sick. But getting sick on the same night/morning the filter completely stopped working seems too much like a coincidence.
