Is there a list somewhere of what species seem prone (or more susceptible than usual) to specific diseases? I checked and I can't seem to find anything like that. Would be a nice piece of info to reference, species ABC gets disease xyz fairly often, much like HITH with oscars. Would really be a good piece of info for people picking up new species, giving them heads up on something they might see and to be on the lookout for it.

Is there a list on that link that answers the OP's question?...If so, can you link to the thread please? I have searched for the same thing for about 2 years now and am unable to find one.
I have started compiling the basics to create one, but if someone that knows more than me already has one, Id like a copy of it.
Thanks!

I didn't post in the Disease forum because I was interested in info specifically to CA/SA species. And since there is no list, I would assume I would get more replies in the CA/SA forum, much the same way as those with sick CA's post here. They aren't looking for info about a disease, they are looking for info about a disease as it relates to their specific CA/SA cichlids.
My asian fishes (gouramis, loaches, tiger barbs) have been very susceptible to Velvet, in addition to the usual Loach ick magnets.
when it comes to cichlids I've noticed that a lot of geo's specifically Satanoperca and also Geo. steindachneri seem to come loaded with camallanus
