  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I got it. It looks like it may have the beginnings of HITH, so I hit it with some Jungle Parasite cure. I'm going to give it a little salt and the temp is already at 86. It's still pretty stressed and therefore washed out. I'll get better pix once it settles in.

what X1? I got this one from Fish Den.
 
Great score it should turn out to be a real looker
 
Awsome. Is that the same one that was in with the other large cichlids for a while? I was always curious what kind it was.
 
I hope so, KF.

Yep. I'm a little worried about it because it seemed aggressive, but with all the other large cichlids it was in with, it was probably just defending what little territory it had. I'm not sure if the damage on its head is HITH starting or from fights with other fish, but I'm treating it for parasites.
 
I added some salt and pima/mela in case they are injury-related. It is still pretty shy, unlike at the store, but it did eat some fish filet pieces last night when I wasn't looking. I'm unsure if it ate the floating pellets or not. I sure hope it heals completely. I'll be sick if I lose another rarer Creni to HITH.
