Hello, I'm new to the forum! I've got a Blood-red Parrot Cichlid that my family has noticed has been acting strange the past 2 days. He was erratically swimming (spinning around, rubbing on the ground or tank walls) every now and again and he seems to eat normally. And today I finally decided to read up on his symptoms. He has showed signs of Ich but they are not as prominent as pictures I've seen. At first I didn't see any visible white spots but I put a flashlight on him and noticed on his right side which I also noticed his fin will clam to his side for a few seconds but he does not have any white dots on his fins just the base of his fins and spread around on his right side. I'm not very knowledgeable on fish as my sister got this fish 6+ years ago as an impulse buy and we never actually did any research on how to properly care for a fish. Surprised it's lasted so long.
