Hello all...
My mbuna tank has been running successfully for the last 6-8 months. The last two or three days my yellow-tailed acei were acting normal but doing something strange. They seemed to be picking each others fins; not nipping like when my other species fight but picking each others sides and fins. Besides that, they were acting normal. Swimming, eating, being the most social like always. This morning I left the house and when I just got back (about 12 hours later,) all 5 of them are now dead.
I am really worried now... is there some sort of parasite or infection in my tank? Everyone else is acting normal and the water levels are all normal. If this was an infection of some sort wouldn't other species be affected? I find it strange that all of a certain species dies in one day, which makes me think it is aggression (They were killed.) Any ideas who/what it could be?
Thanks in advance, I need all of the help I can get!
