Cichlid hierarchy

I figured parasites. I did add the new firemouth and argentea. Also the stress from being bullied.

She wont eat and she wont take the Epsom salt in so I decided to careful and dose the whole tank with regular salt and Parasite Guard. I have seen no stringy poo so I am not sure if it is internal parasites or gill flukes at this point. The meds should do the trick and I do think I am catching it very early. She act very peppy like she wants to eat so Im hopeful for a quick recovery.

I use Parasite Guard by Tetra whenever I have a stubborn situation. I have had great success with this product. Good luck.

Thanks. I made the same mistake last time with the new fish in an established tank. :wall:

This time I think I am catching it very early.
