So i have 10 good sized cichlids. But recently i noticed that |
|
one of my Albinos has been getting picked on alot and has been |
|
staying low to the tank and swimming away from every fish he/she |
|
sees.I bought this fish from a pet store about 1 week ago. he |
|
started out fine would eat food he did have messed up back fin |
|
from fighting when i bought him but am getting worried its been |
|
2-3 days since i seen him eat even tried freeze dried blood |
|
worms. What should i do should i make a hospital tank and let |
|
him heal up by himself or just let him be? If i should make a |
|
hospital tank any tips i have a 5 gallon tank and 10 gallon |
|
laying around. What kind of substrate should I use , filter, |
|
should i have hiding spots for him even tho hes alone? PLS HELP |

Yeah, definitely put him in a hospital tank. 10 gallons will be |
|
fine, no substrate necessary, hiding spot would be optional. No |
|
need for bright 'display' lighting, just ambient room lighting |
|
should be fine as well. |
|
If you don't already have a seasoned filter you can put in the |
|
tank, a small sponge filter and a quick dose of an off the shelf |
|
'quick start' bacteria you should be safe. |
|
Best of luck! |

Yeah, I definitely agree with Paul. If it is only one fish |
|
picking on your fish then out them in the tank together. The |
|
person I bought my aquarium from used to do that and I think it |
|
really worked because the fish I got with him were fine |
|
together. |
