Cichlid with bulging eye :(

He has been in the quarantine tank too long you will need to reintroduce him back to the main tank and it sounds more like stress than water quality in all..

Move around decor and reintroduce him at lights out after the decor rearrangement so he doesn't receive a whooppin
 
Thx Pitt. I was about to do just that but decided to post for a second opinnon. Much appreciated. Will introduce him tomorrow.
 
cool just keep a close eye on him to intervene if needed..
 
Great! :thm: When did you return him to the main tank?
 
about 3 hours ago. When I introduce new fish I usualy sit at my dining room table watching the tank for a 45-60 min playing scrabble or the likes this way if I see any SEVERE agression I can remove the new fish from the situation. I went a bought new rocks. While I was adjusting Big Yellow to the water my b.f rearranged the rock formation. We did this when it was dark outside in seattle so we could turn out the tank lights and intorduce Big Yellow into a tank with no set territories. He seems to have melded well. :)
 
Cool! Congrats for your great job!
