Check the water temperature. Make sure your filter is working. If you have a test kit, test the water.

My Oscar did the same thing ecept he barley moved and he ate. this happened right before his columnaris outbreak.

Ill have to go buy a test kit today. It all started with the introduction of the bull peacock and the tiger but the blue peacock had a white eye i was told that was a scar from fighting so i didnt think anything of it now my jaguar is starti.g to.get it and he is just not active i put medication in the tank for fin rot sores and ect did what the directions told me but it doesnt seem to be helping idk what to do. But i have a 50 gallon tank and the jaguar is 8 inch the taxin is like 5-6 inchs and the two other guys are 3-4 inchs.

First thing I'd look at too is water temp.

 

[krichardson]

I was thinking the symptoms might be temp or oxygen related but it now sounds like some sort of outbreak is imminent.

 

[ialtalal]

it might be oxygen or high ammonia
