Albino African Cichlids

[heyimhere123]

I recently got a Albino African Cichlid. He is about 5 or 6 inches long and pretty big. He seems kinda stressed out. He is swimming but then all of a sudden either sits at the bottom of the tank or sits at the top of the water. When he swims he is fast and swims a lot but I think there could be something wrong with him. Any suggestions? He has only been in the tank for 2 days.

Hello!
A few things to get you started. What size is the tank? Was it fully cycled before you added him? Are there other fish in the tank?
Also need to know your water parameters for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH. Those are fairly standard on most test kits. Thanks!
