BACKGROUND: I have a 75g set up and cycled fish added about six weeks ago. I have a pair of cobalt cichlids about 3 and 1/2 inches long, one is a little smaller, is darker in color and has no or very diminuitive egg spots. The larger one has very prominent egg spots is brighter. Yesterday I noticed that the smaller one isnt taking food. Infact, it aproaches food but doesn't eat it. All tank maintenance is up to date and parameters are fine. It also doesn't open its mouth at all or hardly when it breaths. it is less active and likes to hide alot right now more than its normal activity. I've had these two fish for about 4 months or so. So is it carrying eggs? If so what to do?
