Thanks guys...I'm more concerned about the status of the two (what appear to be) unscathed fish in the tank. I'm afraid to move them due to spreading the disease to another tank. I'm leaving for business (predictable) for a few days so we'll see what we can do...Guess it's time to nuke the...

bump.

For reference, the same fish...."HEALTHY"....

Hey gang, so I've got a major problem with my large pearl eartheater (geophagus brasiliensis) he is currently about 9-10" I've had him for approx. 3 years. Please see attached photos. As you can see, there is a major trauma to the mouth area, causing a piece to be hanging and decaying...

My favorite tank is the one with 5 silver dollars, 2 moonlight gouramis, 1 african knife fish, 1 buffalo head cichlid, 3 kribs...tons of action. Fun to watch. 75 gallon.

lot of kok talk on this thread...

kissing gourami's get pretty big...around 12" or more...pretty tight for a column tank. You need something that schools are won't hang out on the bottom...rainbow fish would be a nice addition?

Meh. I put minimal effort into it...I have the attention span of a fish.

I'm not sure what could have caused it, but this is a nightmare for a community tank IMHO...I'd try and quarantine that fish until you can get some healing action in place...you'll have to keep the water SUPER clean to avoid infections...It's odd it's on both sides of the fish?

(also throwing something in that you "found" or that isn't properly sterilized can introduce fungi, insects and other nasties into your ecosystem)

Doesn't look like a Yabby (would need to see the claws), so it's probably just a common crayfish...it'll get 3-6"

I would recommend a pleco that poops a lot...WAIT, THAT'S ALL OF THEM. Gold nuggets stay about 6" and look good...it's really up to you. Some plecos (common, royal, pineapple) get pretty big and are a bioload nightmare...look for the more interesting dwarf species IMHO...it'll probably get...

....sounds like he's got the "-itis"...better get some 'tussin. (yes, I've dreamed about fish)

...not to mention their jokes keep the aquarium at a happy level. ZING.

Read the article...nicely done. Especially like the point about how the silvers "came to life" in the big ponds...keep it up. It's great to see articles in TFH that aren't just about livebearers and aquascaping.

If not you've just doomed us all by creating super aiptasia...

Jags, peacock bass, Boulengerochromis microlepis

yeah, I have an open topped 90 gallon that the water evaporates out of at a rate of about 5 gallons a week, so I'm constantly topping it off here and there, for big water changes I do a 30% about every 2-3 weeks...I clean the filters probably every 3 months. Since I moved my TSN from that tank...

+1 on the cuban!
