Well, I had one of my cichlasoma oblongus pass away yesterday. I placed my group of 4 into my 75 gallon and I noticed my male becoming dominant almost immediately. They were fine of course in the bigger tank. Well, they seemed fine one sec, then the next, I noticed this little dude bleeding from his lower body right behind his pelvic fins. There was also a hint of something hanging out sooooooo I divided the little guy, but sadly, he didn't make it. :cry:


Now, the other three are acting quite strange. Whenever they swim very closely to one another, one of them will turn its body completely putting itself in a very vulnerable stage showing its stomach to the other fish :screwy:
