I am not sure if my mbuna have internal parasites or not. Quite a few are a bit skinny and one is very skinny although
They all get fed well 2-3 times a day. They really skinny one is a yellow lab but it is hard to tell if he has something
white sticking out of his anus cause his belly is white - there is however a bump where his anus should be, I don't think
he/she is mature yet at only 5/6 of an inch.

One other thing I have noticed is the cichlids mostly stay on one side of the tank (this is because of aggression) but they
do not move much either and they tend to like the top (they are not gasping for air - they aren't all at the very top) But they like the top third of the tank.

The temp is @ 82 F

Could this be a water perameter problem??
 
From what you've posted, I would guess yes. Can you take pics and post everything the emergency section? That would probably be best :)
 
Okay, just noticed that camera has aquarium feature, pics turn out a lot better now so i may be able to get some on here!
