My red zebra cichlid started a really weird behavior this morning. She's moving her head from side to side violently non-stop. She does this in one corner of the tank for a while, then she goes to another spot and does it again, she never stops doing this! She's alone in a 10 gallon tank. I've had her for a month and a week. I changed the water 3 days ago. She's in freshwater. She only eats flakes.
I don't know what's wrong with her
I know it's the puffer forum but I really hope someone can help me. Thank u.

It appears that there are several cichlid forums out there, maybe they can be more help to you.

does it looks kinda like it's having a seizure or something? the "cichlid shake"?
Females sometime do it as a display of dominance or aggression, but I dunno why she would do it with no tank mates...

yeah she's doing just like that. shaking her head a lot. maybe she sees her own reflection? it's really weird. she stopped doing it for sometime but now she started again..one of my dogs was watching her and she got aggressive, but since then i haven't let my dog see her; but she's still doing it
