:confused:
This morning I found him basicly laying in the corner of the tank,, I thought he was dead untill I got the net out and went towards him. he had woken up from his coma :nervous:
Is this a cause from stress?
Im my 55 g tank I have 1 Albino zebra, 2 Talapia Buttileofero, 1 red zebra (holding I think), 2 texas cichlids, and 1 red fin.


any suggestions?
He is back in the same corner now :nervous:

We need more information to try to help you.

What are the water readings?
How long have you had the fish?
What are you feeding?
Was there anything that might have caused recent stress to the fish?
Is he being picked on by others in the tank?

Hi,
The tank you have them fish in is far to small for them. I have 1 in a Juwel rio 240 He is about 13 inchs and i have a small one in a Juwel rio 180 he is about 5 inchs. How big are your fish? When they are young they scared very easily. I would like to see some pic you have of them.
