WTF is this?

[High City Rida]

awhile back the bigger orino was swimming eratically but after i used the jungle labs parasite med it kinda stopped

Was this suggested by someone or did you just use it by chance? And awhile back? How far back? The picture you posted is it a recent picture? Not trying to grill you just curious because Cichla show serious deteriation when infested and usually don't survive or eat at all for that matter when internal parasites are involved. Your Cichla appear to be 6'' or less so if there was a problem there would be more signs then a wierd looking silver poop!

yes they were treated before
erratically by sudden bursts of speed for no reason and having spasms regularly

i went to a lfs and told an employee about the syptoms and he told me to try the meds, so i did. awhile back is about 1-2 weeks ago
yes my cichla are under 6 inches

when i feed my cichla feeders sometimes i get silvery poop too.
but no problems.
are they eating fine now?
give us every detail you can.
like HCR said,usually when there really is a problem,it will be really obvious in the fish.

Normal.... No NEED for MEDS!!!! I strongly suggest never to use meds with cichla... If u did already... U need to do a water change and take it out... Or suffer consequences!!!

Im done! The best of luck with your Cichla. I think the original probelm you were seeing is a Skittish P bass normal. Poop Role normal!

I agree with Mjuniorc. But you have been around long enough maybe your seeing something that we haven't seen before. GL with your P's.
