Hi,

My tank is about 50g and stocking with 13 Malawi cichlids with algae eaters
& corys.
Currently, one of my red zebra seems acting abnormal because she doesn't
interested in food anymore. She just hide inside the plants with 45 degree
head up.
I suspected she infected the Malawi Bloat but I couldn't find any sign of
disease from her body.
I'm so worry about it but what can I do to treat her rite?
Is there any way to try?
