Well I can say I am still new at owning Cichlids...
What started me was that my grandma gave me a full sized one and he died of being over fed...
So as a replacement since it was my mother's fault...she got me two small ones.
I don't know if they are male or female....

But this is the problem:
The smaller one of the two has sort of a pot belly like. But the scales are flat and smooth. And the other, larger one is normal.
And I feed them twice a day, once when I get up and then before I go to bed.
So does anyone have and idea on what is wrong with the smaller one of the two?
 
If they are babies - it may just be fat - literally - but photos would help.

Try giving them 2 days off, from food, and see if it makes a difference.
