ive got 29 gallon grow out tank for some south/central american cichlids that will be put into a 6ft 125 gallon tank. in the tank there is 1 jack dempsey, 1 blood parrot, 1 male pink convict, 1 female convict, and one common pleco. all no more than an inch and 1/2 in size. The male pink convict seems to be flashing/itching. not ALL the time but it occurs more than once. The blood parrot's belly seems to be like a silver color and the jack dempsey looks like he may have something similar going on but not too much, very slight, hard to tell. Ive tested the water and results came back perfect. temperature is at about 76 degrees. ive got an airstone in the tank as well as very heavy filtration. Fish are eating fine and acting normal except for the occasional itching of the pink convict. sometimes the regular convict scurrys around rapidly but not constantly, only for short periods of time and then goes and does her regular business. Before i get heckled about my tank size im gunna repeat that they are going into a 125 gallon. the 29 is only temporary until the 125 is set up and cycled. Are these symptoms something to worry about? or am i just jumping the gun? Could the parrot and dempseys bellys look like that from overfeeding? again the dempsey i could be wrong about cause its hard to tell
