Weird Cichlid behavior and new wound in his head? We have not seen any bullying from the one other cichlid that is in his 40 gallon tank. Is there anything else that could be causing this? He just sits in the pot and does not swim around1yr ⋅ Morethanacomb ⋅ r/Cichlid

Inherited this poor guy when my Dad passed away. He was malnourished as there was very little water in the tank and so I didn't even realize he was in there, so his colors are very dull. I think he is a Convict Cichlid, but looking for other opinions.5mo ⋅ Treeninja1999 ⋅ r/Cichlid
