Help!

[Xotesi]

Well My cichla has been staying near the top showing that it's stress
I moved it into a 60gal yesterday from a 10gal
It's about 3 1/2 inches
I would like to know what's wrong and how to bring him out?
Suggestions please
Thank you

What are you water parameters? What size tank and how many fish,what kind, and what size?

 

[Chizzle]

just sounds like its stressed, give it a day or two to get used to its new tank.

Ph level about 7 heat is 82-84
Yeah I think I'll just let it rest

Water Parameters?

Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate?

How long has the tank you moved it to been running?

How long was it in the 10 gallon?

What were the parameters in the 10 gallon?

 

[gangster]

do you have a pump w/ airstone? If not get one and raise the temp a degree or two a day til your at 87.

what are its tankmates?

It's getting better now
Umm there's a current maker that blows bubbles with it
Tank mates are 2 goldfish too big for it to eat

We still don't know what your water parameters are, and now that your telling us he has 2 large Goldfish in the tank with him I'm going to be inclined to guess your water is all whacked out.

Get your water tested or test it yourself and let us know.
