ok I have a lone jack Dempsey in a 55 gallon tank, he's almost 8 inches. there used to be other jack Dempsey but he harassed them to death. this weekend im getting a 125 and im planning on moving him into that. but I notice he is acting strange. he is swimming slightly sideways, he is running into things like the glass or rocks. his nose looks bruised or worn from it. he is eating and everything still but definetly not himself. I just did maintenance to the sole filter that is on the tank and maybe there could be a spike of somesort. it might be to low of a water temp as well. but thank tank hasn't been heated for years. I will test the water. I have a healthy and heated 120 gallon with juvenile mbuna in it with excellent filtration and water quality, should I put him in there until the new tank is set up and everything or would he kill the mbuna or would it be to much of a shock for him. he has a few tanish spots on the upper part of his belly. I don't know what I should do
