Pet Forum / Aquaria / Cichlids / May 2006

I put my new 3-in albino cichlid in an outdoor pond in Phx, AZ, where
my minnow poulation had gotten  little overwhelming. I was a bit
nervous - the guy at the pet store said he would bite me, eat all my
other fish, yadda yadda, don't put him in with anything else, blah

I have noticed that a couple of my malawi cichlids have concave bellies -
they seem to be eating OK - could they have worms/paracites or is there some
other possible reason? If it is an infestation how should onbe treat it?
Thanks,

Today I found out my favorite fish "Jackie" ( I would like to  think
she is a girl) has hole in the head.
She has not lost her appetite & is behaving normally except for
sometimes trying to scratch herself on the driftwood.

need homes. If you are in the Long Island NY area, email me if interested.
Thanks!
