Sometimes Right, Sometimes Wrong but ALWAYS certai
Ok, so I will try to include every thing so please read all the way through if answering my plight.
Very mature (5 years) Tanganyikan Cichlid set-up (240lts, 4 foot tank)
Totally constant 'double zero' with 40ppm nitrate. 1-2 weekly, 20-30% water changes.
All fish (bar one) absolutely healthy with some regularly spawning. (stock as per signature)
Right, so to my problem fish. I have one Malawi (Blue Dolphin) that I have had since a tiddler and now is nearly five inches. For several months he regularly swoops down sideways into the substrate which is now progressing to swiping the rocks and 3D background. So far I have treated the tank for ICH, twice (following exact instructions) but no change to his behaviour. He shows no other visible signs or behaviour and eats well.
No other fish in the tank have any symptoms of any kind which is strange as it's been months since this all started.
I am looking at the offending fish now and all is normal but then all of a sudden the behaviour starts and lasts for 30 seconds or so.
Any informed opinions?
