My First cichlids :)

All 21 of mine can get about 1/2 of their bodies out of the water at feeding time. It looks crazy, they are like little dolphins at seaworld!!

You should try to get pictures of them doing that, i would love to see them

Thanx Dizz. My lab is laying on the ground and I'm really worried now He hasn't eaten much either. What should I do?

 

[dhemp34]

is he breathing really hard like he's suffocating??? lying on his side

 

[Aquarium1]

A little yes.The others are opening and closing their mouths too, I thot it was normal. He is the only one acting weird tho.

Thanks what about the lab?

Its hard to say from that pic. Females have a strong black dorsal too. I am not so good with young Labs. I have been trying to replace a nice female who died on me awhile back and out of 4 young ones, only one is a female! LOL
