How long have you had the RBP? You need to give out more info.....what food do you feed them, how long have you had them and how much water do you change everytime, 20,30,40% of the water? How big is the tank?
to me it sounds like lack of oxygen or low water temps. you've already ruled out low water temps. you haven't done any recent treatments right? do you have a powerhead or airstones in your tank?
I have a 40 gallon tank with 2 hob filters...I replace 10 gallons of water every week....I have only had them for about a week...I feed them cichlid flakes....they won't take pellets ......they eat the flakes but I didn't think they were eating enough so I got the some feeder fish ( I know is not the best ting to feed them but have not have the chance to get shrimp) no air stone or power head
"I have only had them for about a week." Sounds to me that you haven't cycled the water. They are probably dying cuz of that.
