could this be a case of bloat?

[k.mascher86]

Ive never dealt with it. Parameters are good. Seems to be swimming and everything just fine

 

[k.mascher86]

Cropped it so its a little bigger

Could be your over feeding

 

[garfy]

How much do you feed and how often?

 

[Cecil2010]

And also what do you feed

 

[k.mascher86]

Once a day enough for like 30 seconds of feeding. I feed them cichlid flakes

Looks like overfeeding, so I'd recommend fasting the fish for 3-4 days.

 

[k.mascher86]

Will do

That looks like bloat. Consider antibiotics (flagyl) if the fasting doesnt work

Update.....fasting worked. Cut back the food and now feeing them every few days

So i bought my eartheaters omega one small pellets. They devoured them the first day, now dont eat them at all. They really like the plain cheap cichlid flakes. I paid almost 8 bucks for the pellets, should i spend the same and get the omega one flakes? i just want my fish to have good food cause right now the only food they will eat besides bloodworms is tetrafin cichlid flakes

I'm figured that would be the case, since Bloat rarely actually shows that particular symptom. I skip feeding every Sunday to help ensure the digestive track is getting cleared.

+1 that's great advise.

I to skip feedings on Sunday as well.

I do the same... I think I saw you post something like this before.
