It is not just the water quality that causes this. Diet and a host of other environmental and physiologic reasons also can lead to this. Really it is a rather unknown issue that occurs commonly with captive predatory fish. Often it will show with little or no reason.

In general however a 50% waterchange will often make it go away for a short time. (Or sometimes cause it)
