For some reason the johanni/maingano cichlid I get from a nearby petsmart always usually eventually end up sickly or dies. I don't have any problems with the other mbunas and I'm sure my Johannis aren't getting bullied, but after a while they always usually stop eating, and become more sensitive to any water change than another other cichlids. I do not know what I'm doing wrong. I do weekly water changes and all the other cichlids in the same tank are healthy.
 
What are the results of your tests for pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate? What are the dimensions of your tank? What is your stocklist, including gender ratios?

I would not buy fish fromPetSmart.

Everything is Zero, When the johanni is alive I had 7 fish. 1 female Electric Yellow, 1 male Red Zebra, 1 Female Auratus, 1 Juvenile Demasoni not sure of sex, 1 Baby Female Kenyi, 1 male juvenile Hybrid (looks like a johanni with Yellow fin), and the Johanni itself but its now dead. 40 gallon tank. Despite being understock I have very little aggression between any of the fish and pretty much none of them bullies the Johanni.
