Hi,
I had a weird situation and wanted to know if someone could help me please.
I have a 300litre Mbuna tank with 16 fish in it, males and females. One of my ice blue greshekei got a case of bloat, I removed it to the hospital tank but it was too late and it died. That evening I saw that 2 of my electric yellow females had it too so I decided to dose the whole tank with seachem polyguard cos I've only had bloat once before and it did the trick. The next morning the bloat was gone and they all looked healthy. That evening, however, my male sprengae was behaving very strangely. He was showing his colours like never before but was very calm and listless in a way. I was concerned but he was still moving around and fine. Some of the other fish, however, were twitching a bit which had me slightly concerned but all in all they looked fine. The next morning though the sprengae was much more listless and eventually did the twitch of death. Wasn't great, my favourite fish and all round major bummer.
Anyways, does anyone know what could've caused it, why are some of the other fish twitching a bit and what should I do moving forward?
Thanks for your help everyone.
