MalawiBloat
Malawibloat is a decise that can kill your cichlids. It does not only occur on Malawicichlids but also from lakes Victoria and Tanganjika.The first symptom is a loss of appetite. This is the moment to step in before the desease evolve which means abnormal swelling of the abdomen (hence the name-bloat), an increased respiratory rate, reclusiveness, white streaky feces, and sitting on the bottom of the tank or lingering at the surface. Red marks around your fish's anus or skin ulcerations might also be apparent.At this point, i'm sorry to say that at this piont you are to late to save the fish because extensive damage has already occurred to the fish's liver, kidneys, and/or swim bladder. Death typically results within 24-72 hours after the secondary symptoms occur.
