ryanjury Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 What type of fish is it? Is it breathing normally? Any other fish showing signs of any discomfort? And have you done a water change or anything recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLB Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 What are his tank mates? Is he being bullied? He may have taken a knock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLB Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi. I'm no expert on Central and South American Cichlids but that sounds like an aggresive mix. My bet is he's taken a hit from one of his tankmates. Hopefully he'll come right in his own tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
