Observations of blue moorii dolphin behaviour

one of my large blue moori tursios has been acting really odd this morning - it keeps laying on the sand at the bottom of the tank. normally this guy's always swimming around, but today it just goes for a little swim then comes back to the same spot and settles down again. is this something i should be worried about or is there another reason for this behaviour? i'd really appreciate any advice on this.

I think I know what might be going on with your Moorii - have you considered bloat? This article explains it pretty well - check it out: http/www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/malawi_bloat.php
