peacock bass help

he doesnt really need to eat right away but aquarium salt and raising the temp up to the mid 80's should be the best

Agree, but if you raising temps to mid-80s make sure you have a whole lot of aeration of the water.

What other cichlids did you mix him with?? Its not really a good idea to mix juvie cichla with other agressive cichlids.. Well do as the others have stated and good luck..

well it is to late i've had my first lose of 09, he was looking good for a while but he gave up, he died and i'm not very happy right now there went 40 dollars down the drain! i tried every thing to save him that i could salt in the water ,raise the temp, and added more air

sorry for your lose, I know how hard that must be. Its hard when you try your hardest and they don't pull through.
