Didn't know how to title this , so here goes. I have three cichlids , one of them seems to be slow on the food collection these last few days. Though it was the smallest fish it was agressive and actually pushed around the second biggest fish. Getting its share was no prob. It just seems slow at gathering the food , so the other ones get it all. I am feeding them little cichlid log type pellets. Used to be I could make sure they each got one but this one takes to long to check it out , so misses out.
Another thing with this fish is that it took over the light house and excavated much of the shell from under it and has made some new exits. After this last feeding I saw it near one of the back entrances near the second biggest and it was shaking as the other did to. Dunno if it was some kind of mateing breeding thing or not. Also the fish in question turned very pale during that shakeing from the usual deep color blue/purple type color with red top fin that also has some blue on the end. Then got dark again. The fish seems healthy, but also seems to show frustration after the feedings. Not like I am not trying to make sure it gets it chance to the food, seems to snob it or check it out for to long and looses.
What might be up with this fish and its behavior change , any ideas ?
