HELP, I have a male Golden Dwarf Ram Cichlid called Mango and he is very sick. He is usually a golden/orange colour but he has become very pale (almost white). His mouth also suddenly turned red and he is acting and swimming weird (at weird angles and hardly moving). He is not eating and swimming with his nose pointing in the air a bit sometimes.
I checked my tank parameters today and everything was normal but I have a bit of ammonia.
My tank is 36L and I set the tank up about a month ago. It is cycles and everything...
Mango has a few tank mates: a female Golden Dwarf Ram called Sunny and 10 neon tetra buddies. I got Mango (the sick Cichlid) and Sunny (the healthy one) around 4 days ago... They were fine t the pet shop and on the first few days, but since yesterday, Mango got very sick. However, Sunny is fine so I don't get what happened...
I did a water change today (the pet shop people recommended it) and the last one was 3 days ago... I removed around 20-30% of the water and added appropriated chemicals to it.
I haven't added anything new to the tank since I got my Cichlids and they have not changed their diet with me.
PLEASE HELP! I love Mango so much and I would hate for anything to happen to him! Any advice helps!
