ok so here is the basic story
I had purchased two electric yellow cichlids about a week ago and put them in my tank with my other 5 white cloud minnows (which have not been attacked to this day) the first day i had got the electrics i noticed 2 small raised white bumps almost like a pimple except white, also it had some redness around it. Another symptom i observed even though its hard to tell because of the yellow was they seem to also have some whitish dull patches very hard to see tho. so i went to LFS thinking it was a fungus and bought some maracyn. 5 days later and the disease is still present. So then i went again to the LFS and looked for furan 2 they were sold out
. so i got general cure and triple sulfa instead (thinking maybe bacteria or flukes). today is the first treatment im using both meds at once. Another sympmtom i noticed was my cichlids sometimes shake or vibrate really fast, i havent notice to much scratching though.Also they eat exceptionally well which does not make any sense? today (first day of treatment with general cure and sulfa) i looked at one of my white clouds it seems the disease has spread to my cloud, she has a whitish looking mark or patch on her.
please help before my tank is exterminated from whatever disease this is
