Sick Mbuna
Work has a 100g mbuna tank, and the largest of the fish (about 6in or so) is showing signs of problems. Can't claim to know much about our cichlid overlords, so hey, I'm asking here.
Water test should be coming tomorrow, I can pretty much guarantee the pH will be around 7.5, they have no buffer of any kind, but this is the first signs of stress in 3 years.
What she's doing: just floating there. Won't move all that much, and tends to tip over a little and then righten itself. Don't see any obvious physical problems except for a couple of tail nibbles, but I'm blaming that on the other fish.
Any ideas? (without knowing specific water parameters?)
