Cichild Jumping swiming up and down of the tank

[aznjayx]

I'm not sure what's going on with my tank, but my fish tried jumping out of my tank and everyone is sitting at the bottom of the tank. Few times they will go beserk and tries to jump out of the top.

is one beening very aggressive and attacking other fish?or are they all acting weird?could be hot water or very low ph

[aznjayx]

they are not attacking each other..but it's so weird..maybe it's the PH. They haven't been eating..scared..i really need to get some kind of testkit..so expensive.

not wasting anyone's time it's their choice to contribute their thoughts..whenever...i didn't say "I AM IN NEED OF HELP ASAP!" and I just came back from camping.


Anyways they are African Jewel Cichilids and Zebra type looking Cichilid not sure what it looks like. I did somewater change, but my albino Cichilid just died..when I came back from my camping. But now they all look healthy and eating.

glad they r doing better. its just these r basic points that start the process of elimination and you will find when fish r in distress people tend to want to help quickly as even 1 day can make a difference between life and death of a fish.
you have replied twice and still didn't answer re cycling time. any way fish r doing better. sorry you lost your albino.

Cycling time is about 1 week. i don't know I changed from ten gal to a 30 gal. I'm not sure the effects of live plants but from Ten gallon I didn't have much plants actually none at all. Could it be the live plants? Tank looks good with it but could it be the source of my problem?
