Check the pH. Really acid pH will eat the fins off.

Thanks. I tested the pH and it's right at 7.0 (after a small water
change yesterday). So I bought some 7.0 buffer, and also started a
treatment of Clout, in case it's a parasite or something.

I've noticed them hiding away and lookng stressed the last few weeks,
so maybe there's some Ick or something.

Cheers,
John

OK I was doing a water change last night on my krebensis cichlid tank
and see a few tails are missing. Looks like the fin part has been
surgically removed. What's up with that? Have they been chewed off due
to stress between the fish? There are about 15 in a 40 gallon tank,
lots of lava rock, plants and hiding places. Also, they fish seem to
be hiding away all the time.
