  1. It looks like you guys were right on the money. I used some Expel-P a couple days ago and, while it's still difficult, he seems to be swallowing the pellets at this point. I'll be keeping him isolated in the breeder net until he's ready to compete with the others, but he's apparently on the mend. THANK YOU!
  2. Thanks! I have had some success getting him to eat Repashy. I'll have to put the med in there. I appreciate the help very much!!
  3. I like to deworm these guys anyway, so it's not a bad idea. I figured PraziPro was enough, but that does make me wonder. I'll see about buying some. Thanks!
  4. I suppose it makes sense, Still, I did raise one healthy group before I had an accident that wiped the tank, and they didn't do anything like that. He is also a good deal skinnier than the others.
  5. I appreciate the response! He doesn't like the flake I have, but neither do the others; it may just be too old, so I'll be throwing it out. I tested soaking the Cichlid XTreme today before giving it to him, and while it's still difficult that seems to be helping a lot. He would go after it eagerly before, but didn't seem to be able to do more than try to chew it. Softened some, he's going after it even faster and definitely actually swallowing it. I'll just have to remember to do that when I feed them. 🙂
  6. I recently bought a eureka red african peacock cichlid, but I discovered that he has issues swallowing his food. Even the soilent green repashy I tried has to be chewed for quite a while before he gets it down. He tries to eat the peewee cichlid Xtreme, but just ends up spitting it back out after several seconds. None of the other cichlids in quarantine with him are doing that. I looked in his mouth, but nothing was obviously wrong (though I haven't really done that with a healthy one, so I have no frame of reference.) Any ideas on what might be causing that and what I might do about it? I've been target-feeding him, but he's pretty slim. The quarantine is well cycled, 0 ammonia and nitrite, I got him last weekend, and it seems he had this problem before he came to me. He seems to be the low guy on the totem pole, if that might tell you anything. I don't think I have a KH test, but pH is 7.8.
