Hey there " boardguy " had any luck, could be fungi,bacterial, white spot (ich), markings after fighting new cichla, Gyrodactylus from feeders, anyway all of this you can treat with lot´s of salt and hot water, 1-5 kilo/1000 l. 30-32 dg. celsius. remowe your plants before cure. Gyrodacttylus could be livebeares or eeglayers, so you have to treat again after 8-9 days. get some Gyrodol for next time,keep your feeders in a hooldingtank for a week atleast,check em, feed em, use em LOL
Maybee you should put your new cichla´s in a hoolding tank too, could be a fresh,healty, desiese carrier as well. Next time don´t wait, act. The sooner you treat the better the result, by the way ordinary kitchen salt will do, iodine or not doesn´t matter,have never had a fish that didn´t like fresh hot water with salt, good luck
Fish looked stable this morning. Had to go to classes I'm not sure how they are doing now. I didn't know that table salt was ok. But I bumped up the temperature last night. Now I am picking up some salt for them. I thought I was going to wake up to bad news, but after making it through the night I have hope.
My fish all look alot better now, I'm sure they will make it. The bad news is that one of them jumped while I was gone.
