You have to feed him ....

The first thing i do when i have a sick fish even before i know whats wrong.... is get them out of your main tank and isolate them.

 

A small tank is all ways good for a hospital tank...cheap to keep set up and cheap to dose with meds.

 

from what i can see of your peacock i would say some sort of internal parasite...worms most likely.

 

for worms i use BIG Ls pig and poltry wormer.

 

good luck.

He is Not that bad, is he eating? What are you feeding him? And, how old is he?

[LexAgate]

He is only like 2-4 months old, he is eating, we feed hikari and nls!

Id agree to feed more - looking more at the other fish - and considering the clown loaches and synodontis catfish are out n about with the lights on - they are searching for food..... The other cichlids look a bit thin comparatively.

There will always be one fish that either does not eat enough, or has absorption issues.... But feeding a bit more might help these problems....

Ok thanks will do I'll add some more nls as it is really small then the petricola will get it off the bottom!
