African cichlid with odd behavior.

[Devin Gibson]

I recently moved about 25 african cichlids from a 55 to a 75 gallon tank. Since the move 1 of the fish has been gasping with rapid mouth movement ....never hanging at the top gasping for air
...just midway near the top and now at the bottom. Any idea what's her problem. Again its only 1 fish with issues.

My guess is stress from the move. How long has the fish been in the new tank? Are other fish now picking at it? Are the water parameters exactly the same or very close in each tank?

Female, Is she holding? What kind of fish is it?

Peacock....her mouth is open like she's gasping....can't be holding if her mouth is open ?

Have you changed the water again? It might also be wise to move her to a sick tank.
