Sick Cichlids.....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
good luck to you ..i can see you are trying hard to save the baby and i hope you succeed.
 
hes swimming alot more then he did in the bucket...how often do i add salt to the HT? and should i stop treating the community tank? are just less dosages?

and for the HT how often should i do water changes and how much percent and should i leave the OB in there??

yeah i dont want this one to die hes 1 of 2 of my orginal Africans along with my red empress they alsways together on top of the tree stump now my red empress looks sad now flaring up like he usely does..

do fish get attacted to one another?
 
Fish could... I would do small daily water changes. Only replace removed salt. NOT TOO MUCH.

I would treat the main tank for a little longer. Then keep an eye for more signs.
 
ok ill do a small water change on the HT before i go to bed tonight the heat is like at 84 im trying to get it at a constant 80 so i lowered it a bit when i change the water just suck up the debris from the sand?? and add like a pinch of salt? and i put him a few pettets he didnt eat none so ill try to give him some more tomorrow in the morning and so how that goes..

thanks everyone for ur help...
