Hi, ive read thru some of the stickys on this, the fish is about 2 years old, is a bumble bee cichlid
Water parameters as follows...
Ph 7.8
ammonia about .25-.50...to high i know what change tomarrow after work
nitrate and nitrite are both 0ppm
i have since added salt and a anti fungel medication, this tank has been up for 2 years, never had a death, all cichlids with 2 clown loachs, this is my first problem, the tank has sand as a substrate, i think i waited a to long before i did a water change/ cleaning, it has good filtration, ive only cleaned it 4 times, since ive had it.... i think this is the problem, the tank appears really clean tho....help me any other suggestions...
Fish still eats, however he hides out more than normal and sometimes moves erraticaly...because he has trouble seeing? he still has all of his color... no other fish has any effects as of yet, i just saw this tonight... any suggestions would be helpful, also he is the most dominate fish in the tank and still lets other know that....
heres a few pictures... kinda hard to see
