Here's the issue with my Protomelas spilonotus: About 3 days ago I noticed that it stopped eating, it' still swims on the open and very occasionally hides, fins are almost always "open" (forgot the right term), but it has no interest on eating. I don't see him or her being harassed, but I'm not looking at the tank 24/7 either.
I'm not sure if it's a female or if it just didn't color up yet. (Pictures below.)
I thought that if it is a female she could be holding, but her throat it's the same size as always. Another thing I noticed last night I is that it was moving it's mouth like a squirrel when it eats, but not like heavy breathing, it barely opened its mouth and it was doing more of a jaw movement like if it was chewing something really fast like a rodent. Maybe this has nothing to do with anything and it was just a random action.
Water parameters are normal.
Bloat? Holding? Something else?
Please help.
