Baby Red Terror Gill Curl

[Convict Cichlids]

I have a total of 9 baby red terrors in a 55 gallon tank and I noticed that one of them have gill curl.

I feed 2-3 times a day and bi-weekly water changes.

What can I do to fix this problem?
Any meds?

Never dealt with gill curl but definitely looks bloated or overfed... I'd up the water changes to at least once a week, if not twice. And with cichlids that small, you should only have to feed them a couple small pellets 2-3 times a day. That one looks like it just ate a whole container of NLS in about 5 minutes

I do water changes 1-2 times a week. I feed Hikari food sticks 2-3 time a day.

I took the picture after feeding time.

I saw a guy on YouTube that cut the curled part of the gills on the fish and then just treated the fish with normal meds that helped treat open cuts. Fish is small, I would wait and see if he gets better as he grows.
