I cant see the 1st one but the other 2 look good to me. Does that brand offer a high veg blend? Also looks like the two I can read are very simular in ingredients may be able to drop one of them for a higher veg blend.
Makes sense I’m looking up some high veg blends now so you don’t think it’s parasites I’ll try and snap a pic of his poop when I get back home
I'm not super good with that. I have about the same outlook as
kno4te
. Look for other obvious signs indicating parasite. But yeah deffinately post some pics may be quite obvious to some. Post pics of the fish and poop and enclosure also. What about water parameters?All my test come back normal I’m using a api water testing kit he is in a 75 gallon temp is kept at 85 degreesI'm not super good with that. I have about the same outlook as
Perhaps someone could move this to the hybrid section?
85F is too warm, over the next few days I would dial the temp down to 80F max. Forget most of what you have read or heard about keeping FH, most of it is based on hobbyist hyperbole. Also, FH specialty foods are costly, and most come in at too high of % of crude protein. Any high quality cichlid pellet will get the job done, the rest is largely based on genetics and water quality. It looks like you have already dropped a dime on a lot of food, so just feed sparingly, do not overfeed. If it was me I would add NLS AlgaeMax a few times a week to help keep the gastrointestinal system in check.
