My Kenyi, (roughly 2.5"), just started doing this the other day... she tilts to her side and starts to shake. It looks as though it's an involuntary shake and lasts for 2-3 seconds. I just moved all the fish to their new home, from a 10 gal to a 55 gal. All the other fish seem to be doing great. Is there something wrong? Is there something I should/can be doing for her?
cichlid ok?

Is she vibrating her tail ? If so, that is a way of displaying dominace. Could also be a territorial thing or a mating thing. Is she eating and acting normal other than the shaking? If so, I wouldn't worry about it too much. My Oscar vibrates his tail whe he gets pissed. I recentely added a new large pleco to my tank. My Oscar immediatly began vibrating his tail all over the place.
She is eating and other than the shaking, acting normal. I will take your advise and assume it is to show dominance.
Thanks for putting my mind at ease, I was worried she may have something.
