I have an African peacock cichlid that all of a sudden is swimming upside
down. It ties to go upright but ends up tail up and upside down.
What is the problem and how do I cure the situation.
I have been told to put Epsom salts into the water, will this help?

epsoms prob aint gonna help.
Hard to know whats going on, it could be death rattles from poisoning
(ammonia, chlorine,nitrite, insecticide), or the fish could be constipated
(maybe feed some frozen shelled peas?), could have tb/dropsey......
tumor could be pushing on it's swim bladder
could even be some sort of parasite.....
What are you feeding this peacock? Chances are it may be diet related.

Sorry to hear.
I would look over your fish food and make sure they are suitable for fish
with a prawn based diet
