    swimbladder Apistogramma cactuoides

    Thanks Mate! As Mike says, I think it can be result of some infection, as the water temp was relatively constant. This juve seems to be a male to me. As you people suggest, I will keep the water quality very high and feed it varied diet. I shall keep you guys updated. Thanks a lot, again..! :D
