That's what they told me since he was in a 5 foot tank with like 20 other jags and a dozen other fish of various sizes and breeds.

I kind of figured that but keep trying pellets small enough for the jaguar Cichlid to swallow.

Dithers could be a group of Tetra like Black skirt.

OK I think the local lfs has some. The pellets I got are definitely small enough but he hasn't eaten one ever. He only came up to the top of the tank once and that was today but he retreated before I could try dropping a few pellets.

Once you add the Tetra and they are settled in stand back and observe the Jaguar Cichlid behavior. Hopefully it will come out of hiding and swim around the aquarium.
 
So I am still having the same issue my jaguar is still laying on the bottom of the tank and is starting to tilt to one side a little. I got some small dithers and he ate them all. I have noticed that his colors are fading in comparison to when I got him. Based on my LFS I treated him with general cure and just gave him the last dose last night but have seen no improvements. I'm open to any advice this has been going on for too long for it to be normal.
