rotting mouth! please help!!!

[fat felixxx]

One of my cichlids looks like his/her mouth is rotting or something.. doesn't eat, just kinda hides.. he/she used to bully everyone around but now just chills and cant even eat.

Everyone else seems to be fine so far.

What can I do?

are you sure its mouth rot. if its the bully it may have gotten into a lip fight and lost.

hmm.. well, his face looks like its rotting as well.. idunno, he's all sad and just stays pretty still all day.


wait, so when two fish look like they're making out or something, they're actually fighting?

UH .. Yup Strength test at first and if both think they are stronger then it turns out pretty ugly face when one isn't...

I always add aquarium salt when i see any rot or fuzzy stuff or even any tail tears..
