I have a green terror in a 50g tank with other cichlids all around the same size 4 to 5 inches all were put in the tank within a few month of each other.
Salvinvi (last one added to tank a month ago)
Texas (added to the tank with the GT 3 months ago)
rainbow (was already in tank for about 5 months)
Tiger Barbs 3
Gouriams 6 (was already in tank 1 year)
the cichlids have been in the tank for 4 months. I have noticed a serious decline in the health of the GT in the past WEEK (when I changed the water and relocated all the decor in the tank)
The GT fins are torn up ( the fins on each side, sorry I don't know the name of the fins) and he can not swim properly to escape the Texas when approached.
I see a noticeable twitching in the fish when I watch him thru the glass for a few min. The GT eats ok and comes to the glass when I approach the tank. I also have noticed a white spot protruding from the anis.(that has been there for awhile) I read that this may be a sign of infection. Also there is a what likes like a split in the fishes scales in front of the gills. I thought at first this may have been from a fight and would heal up but it does not seem to be getting better.
I am new to fish keeping although I have been doing this for 3 years I have not had to deal with diseases with success . I have seen other kinds of fish disease and lost the tank but this I have not seen.
any help would by great.
