|
My Red Zebra Cichlids have been doing good in my 120 gallon tank...and being the king of the tank and all  . He has never shown any sign of stress. I have some other cichlids some huge ones like oscar and Green Terrors but he rules em all. I feed the other cichlids shrimps, food sticks, pellets, blood worms, insects and tube worms etc most of which dissapears in a lightning when he is around. I love him a lot but suddenly one day his fins had started to go black with torn fins. Is this some kind of parasite infection? What can i do for this pls suggest. I'm a total noob  |

| This is not some disease as mentioned in a thread you'd created earlier this just the outcome of the same. Your fish is being bullied by some other fish. A close observation will help identify the bully fish. But as mentioned earlier you've got all the wrong fishes mixed together. |

| And as far as i have seen there is no sign of aggression in any of them only the red zebra picks on the Green terrors and it's friend even the piranha as once i saw. |

| Thank you guys for your help and support i guess my Red Zebra's fins are back to normal but it was strange as it had those black patches on its fins but i guess they were caused by ammonia increase in the tank. But now as i did 50% WC it is back to norml. Thanks |
