    It would really help if you would post your params. You could be going through some type of mini cycle. Have you made any recent changes to your tank?

    also, how long has the aquarium been set-up and running? are there any other physical abnormalities (spots, fuzzyness, redness, soars, etc etc)

    how big are your cichlids? becuase 7 african cichlids in a 20 gallon seems a little crowded to me. Also, did you put in all 7 at once?
