Order from Dan at Cichlids of the Americas

At the moment all seems to be well. All the fish are eating, although the Festae much less than the others. Probably unrelated but one of the silver dollars died. How is unknown, the Festae pick at them frequently during feeding but nothing too severe. They're also fairly young so i doubt it was a late night attack or anything.

The white specks have gone away. I dont think it was Ick, not really sure what it was to be honest.

You still feeding epsom soaked pellets? Think they were sick, or just spooked from shipping?

I stopped the epsom salt monday morning. I think the specks were nothing. As for hex, the Festae had it for sure, the poop was just way too white and stringy. None of the other fish appeared to have it though. Unfortunately i have not observed a poop from the festae since stopping the epsom salt.

All are eating and appear to be well though, even Leaky who I was certain was going to die. If anything changes, I'll post an update but I believe we're good to go.
