    GH & KH dropped

    Cichlid Mouth Open

    Cichlid Emergency I've just noticed this cichlid freaking out a little. Why would she have her mouth open like this all the time? Is it possible that she has some gravel stuck in her mouth? Cichlid - YouTube Since filming the fish looks to be dying :( What shall I do?
