About a month ago i added 3 Blue Ahli's, 3 Fenastratus' and 3 Johanni's to my already setup cichlid tank with a few other species.
When they got home they all looked pretty stressed and a bit under nourished,but after a week all looked fine except the blue ahli's, they just looked under the weather,not nearly as good looking as the fish i've seen in pictures.
The one ahli looked as if it was flaking and could only stay up-side down,was quarenteened and died the next day.
3 weeks later the next ahli got that flakey look and just stayed upside down and eventually died.
Also just lost a Fenastratus that spent the day spiralling and also ended up dying.
The last ahli doesn't look 100% either but all the other fish look good.
I think the flaking is from the other fish biting them but why can't they turn the right way round and are staying upside down and why did the fenstratus just spiral.
Thanks
