Hey guys,
A couple of weeks ago I bought a young trio of agassizii "Alenquer". Late last week the the male spawned with both females in a period of 3 days. Needless to say, the tank only being 2x1 he copped it a bit from both females.
So I moved him to a spare tank on Monday. He had a few missing scales and what I thought to be a couple of minor head/gill injuries. I am now concerned as he has started to develop small nodules around his gill and mouth area, quite similar to the photo of the Encapsulated metecercaria on page 227 of Cichlid Atlas 1. I am not suggesting he has Encapsulated metecercaria, just saying that what the nodules are starting to look like.
Otherwise the male seems to be recovering, though he is breathing somewhat faster than normal.
Has anyone else ever come across similar symptons? or have any idea what may be wrong with him and know how to treat him?
Peter
