hi im have trouble with my cichlids all of a sudden im losing them left right and center I've lost 14 in two weeks I've Googled the symptoms but can't find any answers.
the fish were altogether in one tank for about 8 months no problems i have now split them up and this is when the problems started in the main tank i changed the gravel for sand and i brought a cheaper food they are also fed peas on a regular basis these are the only changes i have made. the symptoms are very few some have swollen bellys some have sunken in bellys all have had a lacking around the fins and body and all have been fine till about an hour before they die. before they die they sink to the bottom on there side and look like they are finding it hard to breath. i had the water tested and it came back fine. any help would be gratefully received many thanks in advance
