At their size and the symptoms your describing it sounds like BLOAT from the bloodworms bro.

Well down to one Xingu![]()
Dont know what happened, checked the water:
Ph - 6.6
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 40
Temperature - 28/29oC
Gutted! Think it had an underlying problem it never seemed as active as the other Cichla, I just put that down to being a bit shy.
Missus gave me a funny look when I mentioned there are still 3 in the store lol..... just concentrating on the one now then.
Sincere condolences.
I'd have got a couple to if it wasn't for their delicate size.
I feel your pain, one of my xingus jumped out when they were tiny so I'm down to 1 too.
