Hi ,


My male orange cockatoo cichlid just lies around...he used to be more active , but now i often find him hiding in caves...he eats little and lately I have been making sure food is readily available in his cave.I have been feeding him frozen blood worms . He is in a tank with a female cockatoo and a couple german blue ram cichlids and a couple german golden rams as well...the male rams seem to be somewhat aggressive...the ph is 7 ...I keep the tank at 80 degrees ammonia levels are below 10 all the time...the water is hard...I know they prefer softer water...I have had this guy for 3 months and until now all was well

Welcome!!!

What is your water change schedule?

What sized tank are these fishin?

Could you give us more descriptions on the decor?

welcome to FishLore. I hope we can help with your cockatoo. Dino's questions are what I'd ask too along with: Are you using liquid tests? The strips tend to be less than reliable and may give you false readings on the ammonia levels.
