I separate him by divider. Is ok to put him in polystyren thermobox?
mths divider should be fine but I don’t see why the polystyrene box wouldn’t work either as line as you have a mature filter to goin ther too.
Ty, So i will put him in box with filrer, oxygen and heater
that should work, the main things are to remove the danger and keep the water very very clean so there’s no infection.
Good luck with it, let us know how it all goes. Unfortunately sometimes the injuries can be too severe to treat but other times a bit of time to heal is all that’s needed.
A breeding pair of guttalata (if you mean Vieja? .... if so) is a very formidable force of nature, and needs its own tank.
I suspect the managuense will be only ihe pairs first victim, if you don't separate them from the community. But....
If you can separate them, put the tank close and in view of the other cichlids, so they can see, and focus on the other cichlids, because without a certain amount of threat, they will take out the extra hormones for aggression building up in prep for spawning on each other.
And their aggression will become even more lethal once they have free swimming fry.
I have had Vieja types, take out much larger dovii when in spawning mode.
