MY YELLOW LABS DIE ONE BY ONE IN MY TANK.
THEY STOPPED EATING ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND ONLY THE LARGE ONES ARE SURVIVING NOW. I CHECKED THE TEMPERATURE 24-25 DEG CELSIUS, TWO 50% WATER CHANGES IN ONE WEEK, FILTER MEDIA CLEANED.
NOTICED ONLY THAT FISH DOES NOT EAT AND BREATHING QUITE HEAVILY, SMALL FRY REMOVED, BUT DIED ON IT'S SIDE UNABLE TO SWIM.... NO OTHER VISUAL SYMPTOMS NOTICABLE, EVEN THE COLOR REMAINS MORE LESS THE SAME//// thanks for advice

Did you rinse the filter media under the tap?
It sounds like ammonia poisoning in a cycling tank.

Start doing 20% water changes twice a day using dechlorinator & read the pinned topics on cycling.

Thank you for your response. I did check level of ammonia and nitrite>>> I have negative readings, which is good (0mg/l)>> soI have been adviced by other cichlid "expert" to check for the posibility of internal parasites>>>which seems to be the case... Thank you
