Pet Forum / Aquaria / Cichlids / October 2008

The other day I noticed there was a small hole in one of the gills of m
buffalo head.  Ive had him for a few months and his behaviour has no
changed much.  Ive taken a few pictures.  He is in a 44g tank with som
bala sharks and baby plecos.  

The only thing that ive done recently was change over the substrat
from sand to small gravel.  Ive got a Marineland biowheel 200 for th
tank with an extra insert with zeo carb.  

Ive since quarantined him put in 3 tblspoons of salt and tetracycline

As a side note about a month ago I lost 2 ID sharks with a similar typ
of thing.  One had a white sore on the side of his body 2mm in diamete
which turned into a ulcer and then he died.  A couple weeks after tha
the other got an ulcer on his nose and eventually died.

Please help
