Well I come home today and see that one of the Zebra Cichlids doesn't look so great.

It's quite pale and is just hoovering in a corner, didnt really eat and doesnt move unless its chased by the other Zebra. There have been no new additions to the tank for a long time. I just removed a big venstus the other day though.

All parameters are fine

Ammonia - 0
Nitrites - 0
Nitrate - 30 (Just did a water change though)

Anybody know whats up?

Included some pics the fins looked nipped at.

Gill movement is pretty rapid aswell.

Checked up on it a few hours later.. Saw it swimming downhards and then just rolling around in the water...?
 
Is he eating? he looks kind of skinny. Hope he pulls through, more of the experts can give you better advice. Do you have a qt tank you can move him into? One of his fins looks tore up and maybe infected.
