Think my Bumblebee Cichlid is dying, HELP!

Temperature before hand was between 80-82, after it was a little cooler around 78-80.

It was probably shocked from the temperature change.

Instead of doing 100% changes do smaller changes more often.

I do large water changes, 90% or fin level, I never go further than that and never take fish out. prime/safe is added before adding new water, and temp matched to hand. do you use a water change system such as a python or other? not using buckets are you/?

I do not think 3 or 4 degree dif killing the fish, IMHO. I am thinking chlorine poisoning.

or just plain ol shock from being moved and moved again.

im sorry about your fish. but 30-50% seems reasonable, i do 30-40% on my 125 every 3-6 days depending on feeding and stock
