He hangs around the heater. His lips are red and look beat up. Don't know what's happening. ?
 
I have other africans, about 14, water is fine, and it's 125g tank. Maybe he's getting singled out?
 
But do you know what species? I take it since its a blue kenyi its a female, and will most likely be less aggressive and possibly can be beat up easily. It really depends on what othe fish you have in there. How red are its lips? Like bright red or dull red? She could be lip-locking with another female (the way they fight) thus injured her lips. Are her fins ragged and any other body damage?
