They still are pooping clear hair like feces.. althoe some of the bloated got skinnier? maybe theyre finishing getting rid of the parasites? So frustrating....

Everything seems to be going good i think.. Went through with 3 full doses each a day apart and todays the day i do last pwc.. Should i buy new filters inserts for my filters if its holding any parasites? or can i use or wash them?

Sounds good, thanks for being kind and helping! :) :fish1:

The maracyn 2 was pointed out by a petsmart employee. figures.. I will put the peacock back then so she gets properly treated. It seems that all the the fish are eating fine. Since i already started day one of a full water treatment, should i just stick to finishing out the water treatment? or...

Alright thanks for all the info.. I will stick with the general cure through the process.. stuff smelled super strong like baby powder or something in that sort. I guess my last question would be.. I have my peacock being treated on day 4 with maracyn 2 in a 20 gallon tank and she is still...

So i went to both petco and petsmart and couldnt find clout believe it or not, So i got the Api General Cure powder.. It states on the box "treats parasitic fish disease" and swollen abdomen and wasting disease is one of the things it claims to eliminate. I vacuumed most of the feces from the...

Ok thanks for the input guys! its really appreciated, i will get some clout tonight and if not i will get the api general cure and treat the tank tonight. When you say 3 full doses, you mean do the procedure's with clout three times in a row? or all at once? just clarifying

I honestly think its a parasite. I kinda tried stocking my tank fast for aggression issues and felt i would be fine as long as i did good amount of pwc. The place where i got most my fish had like 30+ cichlids pretty overstocked warehouse environment recycling all waters on floor. A pretty smart...

Ok thats good to know, ill start using it when changing water.. I just wish i knew more about this clear string feces and if the whole tank is infected and should be treated?

Never used salts, before adding some epsom salts today.. i do have african cichlid sand tho

I feed tetra cichlid flakes 2 times a day along with some new life spectrum pellets..and recently got spirulina a week ago which gave to them like 3 times so far. They only eat for about 2 minutes maybe a hair longer.. But recently, i have been feeding them less since the first fish came up...

I have a 55 gallon up and running for about 2-3 weeks now with 11 africans.. it all started with my only peacock getting a bloated stomach and pooping thin transparent white feces. She is now being treated on day 3 in a 20 gallon with maracyn 2.. Now about 3/4 other fish are now pooping SUPER...

I have a electric blue female peacock and it looks like she has a swollan belly for 3-4 days or so as well as some scales on her side cracking or peeling off in the middle, and now it kinda looks like some skin shedding off mouth area.. shes been hiding in her cave but still comes out to eat...

also i am going to try and upgrade to a 100 gallon soon

i think im just going to keep all the fish including the hap and add more of the species you recommened. I just went to petsmart and bought 3 of the biggest plants they had and few caves, now the tank seems really crowded with plants and caves and everyones a little more peaceful for now...

Thanks for the info! So it sounds like it should shoot for keeping them together with the same species rather than a bunch of random ones.. I guess a little overstocking is what would work with mixing the peacocks and mbunas.. Ive been looking for only females because of breeding issues...

Its atleast a 50 gallon, I put much more than 40 gallons in it.. but thats besides the point.

I believe its a 55.. Has built in filter so not sure how that works out.

Hello, So im new to keeping fish and happened to choose cichlids because of their beauty without doing any research. I am now in love with them but was misleaded when i was told i could keep any african cichlid together rather than being in their groups. I believe i have all females as they told...

bump? ....

Pretty new to having fish let alone cichlids.. I now have a 55 gallon with 8 fish and had to remove one (Albino snow white) so far because it was dramatically chasing other fish. Now the second main agressive one (female electric blue)is taking over and is chasing everyone especially the...

I have a 55 gallon tank with 4 female cichlids.. one electric yellow, one female electric blue (grey color), one non aggresive unknown cichlid colored like a tiger and one albino snow white female cichlid. I had 2 of the fish then added two more three days ago. One of the ones i added is a...

I have a 55 gallon tank. I just moved everything over from a cycled 20 gallon tank to seed bb. The fish have been in the 55 for about 3 days.. I have one female peacock cichlid who hogs most the tank and shoos away my smaller electric yellow which im not sure if its a male or female. This is why...

Ok that sounds good.. I guess im just exited to see them have more room and not have to hog the tank and shoo off eachother.. Im not really in a rush.. thats why im trying to make sure it would be safe to add the fish same day as established filter. If it wasnt safe i would wait it out. but...

So if i put the filter from the 20 into the 50 it would most likely be safe to add fish later on that day after all the waters been filtered through the bb filter and doing water testing? im just wondering how long it might take to make the 50 gallon "cycled" enough for fish.. Thanks
