JD cichlid not eating right

[MikeyM]

I'm having an issue with my JD, he's been refusing to eat for the past couple of days. he'll take the food and spit it back out, he may be eating a bit but it's hard to tell. he also swims on a slight upward angle and isn't as active as usual, visually there is nothing wrong with him that i can tell. I have 4 other fish in there and they're doing fine.

here are some detail's regarding the water parameters.

Ammonia = 0
Nitrates = 0
Nitrites = .1
PH = 7.5
Weekly 30% W/C

thanks.

It this point dont worry,
Is you temp holding steady?
And you should go read all the stickys

Yep, you're right. it was the temp. I screwed up royally not once but twice Last week, like a dumb ass I did a 30% w/c change with a python and forgot to precondition the water. That stressed the crap out of them and 3 got of them sick, I medicated the whole tank with melafix (2 had open sores) and raised the temp, they all got better but the JD stopped eating. I check the temp last night and realized I had forgotten to lower once they were better. Although I have no excuse, I am back on my parents couch with a broken collar bone so the visits to my house are once a day.

Thanks.
