I've had a few acei for a few years, but I don't know how fish die of old age? Symptoms? This fish, when not actively swimming, is floating vertically, and looking a bit "curved", like a lazy "S".
He seems to feed normally, but is always curved now. This has just come on in the last few days. Any help?
One other cichlid, not an acei, in the tank has what could be bloat, from referring to another site, it has a bump near anus, but has had that for a month, but all others is the 55 gal tank seem fine. Could this be bloat too? shouldn't the one with the "bump" have other symptoms and have passed on by now?
Another acei, same age as this one, died a couple months ago, same symptoms, but he has been injured in an ormanment, so thought that was the cause.
I'm at a loss but hate to see the fish just going one by one if that's what's happening.
