Thanks a lot Spyros < I always recommend that fish be fed once a day and only enough food so that all of it is gone in two minutes. I would recommend that you do not offer him any food at all for three days. After that feed him once and remove all the left over food after two minutes. If he still doesn't eat then he may have an internal bacterial infection and will need to be treated with Metronidazole.-Chuck> Cichlids with Sunken Bellies I have a 20 gallon tank with 1 convict, 1 firemouth, 1 green terror and 1 Severum.

They have had this routine for over a year with no problems until 3 months ago. I noticed all of the fishes bellies appeared to be sunk in. I checked several web sights for disease symptoms but I could not find anything that resembled the problem my fish are having. I thought it could
