Fish Sitting On Bottom, Wont Move

[joshwaldo]

ello, ive had some malawi's for about a year now and ive had no problems at all, ive added 2 new fish yesterday so i changed my rocks around to try introduce them. Ever since adding them a fish as been attacked alot and now he is sitting on the bottom of the tank with nibbled fins. Also one of my new fish tht i added yesterday, i found dead this morning, ther was nothing visibly wrong with him. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

If the fish you added were a different size to the ones you have at the moment, that could be the problem. Any new fish is usually picked on anyway. Try moving some of the decor around, and provide some hiding places. This should stop them being picked on because the previous fish would have to start making their territories all over again.

Hope this helps

yes the new fish were about the same size as the rest and i did change the decor round so they all have a fair chance of making new terrotry, im still pondering on how the new fish just suddenly died, there was nothing wrong with him visibly, its the other older fish thts been picked on
