Added some new fish about 2 weeks ago to my mostly Peacock Mbuna tanks. One of the peacocks I added was active for a few days then he stopped eating and kept to himself. He swam fine just kept to himself. I thought maybe he got bullied and wait a day to see if he would start eating again. He didn’t start eating so I tried getting him out but he was to fast and it was late so I thought he was healthy enough I could do it the next morning. However the next morning he was dead. All the other fish in the tank were eating and fine. So I decide to feed the fish NLS pellets soak with metro plex and focus. All were eating for a few days then one of my yellow labs stopped eating and he was swimming a little funny but never lost his balance. I was able to get him out and I treat the water in the hostpital tank with Metro but he died the next day. Now last night I noticed my favorite fish in the tank my red top lwanda stopped eating so I took him out but not sure what to treat him with since he was eating the food with Metro. Then this morning I saw a dead pleco on the bottom of the tank and removed him. All the fish that have stopped eating or died all looked and swam fine. Don’t see anything external on any of the fish. The only thing I think I notice are the gills on some fish seemed slightly inflamed and they seem to breath a little harder but none are going to the top for air. I think I will pick up some clout for the lwanda.
