Sick Yellow Lab?

[AlmonyMatt]

Does this fish look sick? Seems light in color compared to my other one. And what is that random black mark?

Sorry forgot the image

I don't think that's a yellow lab.....
Don't all yellow labs have black on their find????

 

[AlmonyMatt]

That's what I thought but I looked them up and it seems the females do not have the black markings

But he doesn't look happy

Clamped fins for sure, not a happy camper..

 

[AlmonyMatt]

What can make it unhappy. Bad water quality?

 

[mscherer63]

Just curious what size tank he in?

 

[AlmonyMatt]

55G tank with 11 other mbuna cichilds and 2 blue dolphins

Do u have a hospital tank ?

 

[AlmonyMatt]

I do not. What do I need to have a tank like that. I only have my large tank and a breeder box for that tank. I could use a bucket and a heater and a bubbler. But what's best to use

Petco dollar per gallon sale is on now, It's a good idea to have a quarantine (hospital) tank. I use a bare 10 gallon just filter, heater and a few rocks. If you have a sick fish it could spread to the other fish in your aquarium. I always place new fish in it for a few days before putting them in the main tank. Also if I notice a fish acting funny I will remove it from the main tank, observe it and treat appropriately
