Hi, I have around five malawi cichlids and one ruby shark in my 55gallon aquarium, all the water parameters are correct and I fully fishless cycled my tank before adding fish!
Anyway recently my cichlids have been opening and closing their mouths constantly.
I can't see it being a lack of oxygen in the water as I have a nine whole bar along the bottom pumping air bubbles all day.
There is no ammonia and no nitrite, with around 10-15 ppm or nitrate.
I do water changes usually fortnightly but since this problem I've been doing them weekly with no improvement!
Any help will be appreciated cheers
Josh
