This may or may not be related to the problem I'm currently having with my marlieri being bloated, but I want to run this past everyone.
One of my A. compressiceps has this thing that looks kind of like a rudder sticking down from where the fish's "chin" would be, just below the back of the gills, and in front of the belly. It's probably about 1/4-inch deep on an adult fish. I had another fish of this same species that developed the same problem, and was dead within a week. The current fish with the problem is not acting right, and its color is not good, either.
Could this be related somehow to the bloating I'm seeing in the marlieri?
All the other ~45 fish in my 120-gallon tank act just fine. I have N. leleupi, O. ventralis, other marlieri, other compressiceps. C. leptosoma and S. petricola that all seem to be doing fine.
I do a 20% water change every two weeks, use Seachem Lake Salt and Cichlid Buffer.
