I'm not one to post, if I should build a shed or I'm behind on my water change. By the way, my pond is doing great. Pump is running great.

Hopefully with my skill level these won't experience hith ;)

There is no set age for hith but it's not only caused from poor diet, there's a few factors involved. Maybe kendragon kendragon can elaborate more ;)

Are these a specific cichlid stick? After looking them up all I can find are the normal ones.

Intermedia aren't more prone to HITH than any other cichla. This is a common misnomer as the batch that made these fish famous back in the day were kept in subpar conditions and just about all of them came down with it in the importer's tanks.
