My tank recently suffered from pH shock, it is now at a constant 7.0

my question is since this occured last week, my big male keyhole shows discolouration due to stress or aggression when i enter my room, sit near the tank, turn off or on the lights, feed the fish. Literally everything I do scares it. It seems really submissive

It still comes up to eat when i feed though

the other keyhole hasnt eaten since the pH shock.

will my fish become normal again or has the shock proven to be to much?
 
They are likely stressed due to the ph changes and will take time to adjust, the best you can do for them is to keep the parameters stable and keep the lights out or dim and minimise any maintenace to the tank to let the settle again.
 
it will go back to normal again, i find with my keyholes they just get freaked out so easily, its a shame really they look great wen there not but awful when there blotchy.
 
well thats good to know,

they look absolutly shocking when they are stressed
