I only have two and they are both African peacocks

I'm having an issues with my cichlids. When i got them they were tank mates and fine but now one is bullying the other and the one being bullied is just sulking. When it's not sulking it is getting chased by the other one. I just tried reorganizing the tank decoration but is there anything else...

I moved him to his own tank and he's doing better. I think he was being bullied by the other one. After moving him he is eating and at the bottom now. Going to let him heal then try adding him back to the main tank. His left fin looks like it's been bitten so it needs to heal.

I'm keeping it in good condition but the one fish is still not wanting to live or eat. It's just sitting in one spot. Any ideas on how to help it?

I've added stress coat for them. If there anything else i can do?

What does it mean when my fish put the food in their mouth then spit it back out? Also one of my fish is acting lethargic?

So I did the water change and just tested my water. Doesn't seem like my ammonia changed at all

I used the only sink i could reach which is my bathroom sink. I thought you meant like a brita filter. What is an ro filter?

Sorry if I'm asking alot of questions. Trying to do this thing right. Would adding more live plants help?

I know you said i could speed up the process. I got aqueon bactieral balls and used those. The problem with the filter on my tap is I'm no close enough to a sink that i can equip the onto to fill up my tank. Also doubt it'll get rid of all the ammonia that's in the tap already.

Yeah I have four live plants in there already. Just buying all this water is really expensive. So trying to see of there was anything I could do besides that. How do you know when your tank is cycled?

Is there anything else I can really do to help the ammonia process or only water changes?

So do like 25 percent water change, then add the stability and quick start again?

So just tested my water, my ammonia is at 1ppm, I have no Nitrite and my Nitrate is at 5.0ppm. How should I progress? Should I just keep using Prime seachem and stability seachem or do another water change?

Should i do a double dose or no?

Should i use some quick start or no?

Thanks for the info! With the two water changes i did, i added 4 of those bacteria balls and stress coat and stress zyme, as well as, prime seachem and prime stability with each change. So a totally of twice with everything.

What should the ammonia level be at normally?

After doing the second water change. The ammonia is looking like it's at .25ppm. Should i do anything else or just wait awhile? Or test again in an hour?

Ok will do another 50%. Should I test immediately after refilling?

Yeah I did a little more then half of the tank and was only 24 gallons. Just tested the water and it already went from a 4 to a 1. Should I do half again or little less the half?

So I don't know how to measure the water in the tank I did 25 gallons first is that a problem?

Yeah 55 gallons of spring water bought. Now to get it into the house and start. I don't think there are any clubs near me. Just stores.

Yeah i fell asleep but i already did a 10 gallon water change. When i do the 30 gallon change how long should i wait before doing the 25 gallon one? Also over a course of like 8 hours it went from a 2 back up to 4ppm for ammonia

Thanks for the tips. Should I stick to spring water?
