Please help me identify what disease my cichlid have

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hello; Sometimes the ick parasite is easier to see on transparent fins than on colored body parts. That is usually where I can spot it clearly. Good luck
One note. Now that you are using the salt don't add a second type of ick medicine with the salt. Often the other ick medications do the same thing as salt (osmotic pressure differential as Duanes describes.)
