Can someone give me some advice please
The rainbow cichlid in my tank has stopped eating and hasn't ate anything for 3 days. Before that at feeding time it was out amongst everything as normal. It won't even eat bloodworm.
It just seems to want to sit at the top of the tank just below the top water level. It does come down now and again but just seems to ghost around. (Doesn't have the same, I'm the boss and that's why nobody messes with me, look about it).
It's gone back to the dark tiger stripe colours from the usual vibrant bright orange with black stripe.
Iv tested the water and there is nothing wrong with it. All levels are as they should be, ammonia, nitrates, nitrites etc.
I'm not sure of its age. It is about 5 inches from mouth to tail.
Pictures below
Many thanks for any help.
