Hello,

My Oscar and other South American Cichlids, mainly my Sevrums, have come down with HITH. I caught it early and I've been treating with Fritz Para Cleanse as recommended by my lfs. (They are very knowledgeable and I trust them.) It seems to be clearing up, I'm also using Bio Bandage to help heal.

My question is, could this be caused by the feeder rosy red minnows I sometimes give them? I was getting them from PetSmart cuz idk of a bait store local that has them.

They also eat flakes, sinking pellets, and frozen food, the minnows are just like an enrichment type thing.
 
From my understanding if you are detecting ammonia and truly have zero nitrates your tank isn't cycled
