One of my mbuna is in hiding?

[Adamtron2000]

This morning she (I believe it's a female. still juvenile) started hiding between a rock and my driftwood. I'm not sure why because my parameters are great (0 amm, 0 trite, 10 trate, PH 8.0-8.2). My picture won't upload, but she is very secluded and won't come out to feed. She's a different species of mbuna then the others. I don't know what she is. Similar to the Kenyis but different striping. More scattered. Thanks for the help!

Might be holding egg's

could be holding or getting picked on by the other fish. Just keep an eye on her

I found her dead this morning. I haven't seen any bullying in the tank, but it could have been?

Now one of my Kenyis is not hiding but being very inactive.

any spots on the fish? torn fins? fish look bloated? what foods are you feeding?

try feeding them and see if they eat

The fish looked okay when she died. I didn't see anything. The new victim is looking fine too. I'm sure I'll see torn fins soon
