    Re: Question on Dolphin Fish (African Cichlid)

    Did you have this fish in your african cichlid tank? If so its not a cichlid, and prefers soft water, the exact opposite of what your cichlids require, so this might have something to do with its death.

    Fish has passed on to bluer waters.
    Issue was believed to be related to High Nitrates and possible poor stock quality from lfs.
