My Dream Fish is Sick, HELP!

That was a beautiful cichlid, sorry for your loss. I also agree it sounded like low oxygen levels, but I think have an airstone in the tank after you found him would have saved him? Please correct me if I'm wrong

There's a 50/50 chance depending how much damage was done internally due to lack of oxygen.

Ok thanks.

Sorry for your loss
frustrating when I've read that those fires were started by arson

Sorry you lost your fish. Flow is so important. Battery back up is also so important. Look into A MP-40 by ECOTECH Marine with the battery back up. The Reefers all use this on there systems. Good Luck---

When I found him he was at the bottom of the tank on his side so I put him in a basket near the out flow of the filter. After that I added an Air stone and did a water change. But when I came back a few hours later he was dead.

Thank you, I will look into getting one.

In the future, I live near cotati and my area is usually the last to go out, if ever. through the whole outage my power was never affected. If you need to care for a couple fish feel free to come by and stick them in my sump
