Hi everyon ;0)
We have a 4ft freshwater aquarium, it has been established approx. 18months-2yrs. About 4 weeks ago we removed 2 large salmon tail catfish, changed the interior decorations, and then added some electric yellow cichlids together with a few blue dolphins.
Our problem is with the red jewels in our tank who have been there from the start...
This afternoon we noticed one of the electric yellow boys dead, as we were fishing him out, we noticed one of the reds with white marks that seem to spread out around the edge of his scales, we have dealt with ich before, but this doesnt quite look the same, its not spotted so much as highlighting the edges of his scales. It almost looks like its cracked?!
He has it on his head between his eyes, at the base of his dorsal fin where it meets his body and also on the tip of his anal fin and the other fin that that runs under his belly. We had watched for ich after such a big change to the tank, but 4 weeks in, and so sign of stress until now.
Were not sure if this has anything to do with losing the electric yellow, i checked him over and could see no signs of the same condition.
Were really hoping someone might have idea... Will post photo'S (if i can get any decent ones) shortly...
Thanks an hope to hear from anyone soon :0)
