Fish ID Help! (Mayan?)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
He looks a little better. But there's no need for you to be confused if it is a Festae or not, because it definitely isn't a Festae. I can't say if it's crossed with a Festae or not, but it certainly isn't a full-blooded Festae. It looks to be a Mayan for sure. The odd colors and patterns are still throwing me off though. I still believe it may be a Mayan hybrid or some variant.
 
Try Vitamin Pyramid (From Api about $3).

Treating my Blue Dolphin cichlid for HITH. Have used it before, it worked.
 
Id give it a few months of 50%+ weekly water changes before using any meds. Ive never found anything that worked better than that, med wise.

alexmuw...your signature reminds me of a saying by another great leader, Winston Churchill:

“If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.”
 
Yea, i hate to say it but after looking at the SUPER sized photos on the 2nd page, it's HITH. I've had luck with a lot of my recuse just doing the 50% WC thing. I kept the water clean and was good in a short 6 months in most cases. Also with myans, i have found they can tollerate a higher salt content, which may help some.

By the way, I think he's a she. Just going by the black blotch on the dorsal. All of my past females had that blotch, but it's never 100%.

good luck rehab'ing the little one.
