    To feed or not to feed

    So I recently came to the conclusion that my cichlids have internal parasites and started them on general cure. My question is should I fast them over the course of the treatment or should I feed less often or feed regularly. The reason I'm asking because I heard that it was better not to feed...

    Male or female?

    I picked this guy/gal up at petsmart about 6 months ago 1. Because I thought it was male 2. I was curious as to how he would color up.

    Fish on fish? Or sick? IDK!!!

    So over the past two days I've lost two danios one a day. I have a bit of a snail problem so the snails were munching on the First Lady that passed away.
