why are my BP not swimming??

[FrogmanTanCH]

I use to have 2 BP in my 1ft tank without decoration for about 5 days, yesterday, I put in some stone and today I bought another 3 BP and put in some fake tree as decor. Also, the shop staff ask me to buy bio booster & bio bacteria and ask me to put in 2.5 each to stabilize the water condition.

Initially, when I put in the other 3 BP, all 5 were swimming actively...but in the evening when i come back from work...i notice that all 5 were just staying put at the bottom...even i try teasing them..they are not swimming..even i pour down some food...some are not eating also..what happen???...please advise??:crying:
