I'm in a panic here! I have a Gold Sevrum who's not eating and is listless. She also slightly leans sideways while swimming. No visible signs of disease. I'm also missing a jellybean cichlid and the other is also not eating, hiding and listless. Everyone else seems to be ok. API master test show's all normal. However after returning home after being gone for a week, the water tested 1.0 for ammonia. I'm not sure how long it was like this. I did a water change before I left, and changed it right away after my return. I have a piece of drift wood that continues to leach after several months of being in the tank. Yet hasn't seemed to bother the fish.
I do not have a hospital tank. Any advise here?

daily water changes with some prime if you have it..for whatever reason, you are on a mini cycle and thats probably effecting them....the tannis (tea colored water) will not hurt anything unless your pH drops significantly ...do you know the ph? one of my 75 gals is always a tea color because of so much driftwood in my tank..it wont hurt anything....goodluck with your babies!!

Thanks Shawnie

I just brought my 2 large Bala's into the LFS. They may have been causing some stress within the tank. Very active and man can they eat. We'll see...
