i have a convict about 2.5 in and it just sits around the tank. it loses its color and then it comes back. its stomach looks a lil fat and its not eating. any thoughts on whats wrong. thank you
 
Internal Parasites perhaps

Is the Con's poop white and/or stringy? Act abnormally jittery and/or rub against things in the tank as if scratching itself?
 
sorry about the convict ... are there other fish in the tank? you might want to pick up some Jungle Parasite Clear and do a course of treatment

you might want to pick some up anyway, to have it handy for next time ...

is the jungle stuff a liquid or powder or tablets. just so i know what im looking for. thanks for all the suggestions and help everyone

It's tablets. You use 1 tablet for every 10 gallons. Stuff works quite well, I've had a lot of success with the Parasite Clear and Fungus Clear in the past for various things.
 
I've had great luck with coppersafe. I believe it's made by Mardel. Don't use it with any invertebrates though.
