CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

My red devil appears very sick.He always hide's And never eats food.What could the problem be????

Its hard to say. Is he displaying any other symptoms? How is the water quality in the tank (Ammonia, nitrite, nitrates, etc...)? Does he appear bloated, or excessively thin? The more you can tell us, the more we'll be able to help.

Can you also post the tank size, and how old/big is the RD.

MY RD is about 2 inches in a 25 g tank

One of my fish has been doing that but I figured out it was because he was new. How long has your red been in there? Email me or tell me this info.

The age of your red
What is the temp. in your tank
How many fish are in your tank

Also if you dont get a good enough answer here you can go to http://www.aquariumfish.com! Sign up it really is a great website. My name on there is oscargirl093. I have two people that normally post on all my messages. Hailey and goldlenny. Please try that website too. But keep in mind to check back on this one too.

I have 12 fishes in there .My RD has been there with me for 2 months.Also if u dont mind i have a question to ask u:My baby mollies are 2 and a half weeks old,but they r only about 8mm in lenth.So could i put them in my big 25g aquarium??Will the other fishes attack it??

are his fins clamped? heavy gill pumping? how big are the other fish? are you messing with the water to much? are you over feeding the fish? over stocked tanks need attention. complete water changes are deadly. there is a balance. i have killed a lot of fish in the past.
