RIP to my pinima. I raised him since feb 2013 from 4" till his random early death at 18"
He was my FAVORITE cichla and the ONLY cichla i grew out.
Water params were completely fine. All other fish completely fine. Diet has not changed from massivore since he was 4"
The one thing i did was clean the glass....maybe stress?
What sucks the most is i watched him die rather than coming home and seeing him dead. As he was dying, he was swaying his head back and forth opening and closing his mouth stretching it out, darting around (upside down) any ideas?
