I could use some help. I’ve noticed my acara hasn’t been eating or actually normal. His belly is sunken, his anus is swollen and protruding, and he hangs out in a top corner by one of the filters.
Has anyone seen this before? I thought it might be due to another cichlid being too dominant, so I took the more aggressive cichlid out. However, this didn’t seem to help. I’ve currently got the acara in a bucket with a heater and an air pump to give him a salt bath.
I’d really appreciate any help you guys could give
