Xeno. Flavipinnis

Hi everbody,

I'm having a problem with my Xeno. Flavipinnis. They are starting to form these real tiny cuts or lesions on there snout in between their nostrils. I noticed them as bumps about a week ago. They are definately getting worse. I'm going to change about 75% of the water, add salt, and turn up the temp to around 82 degrees and see if this helps. Just wondering what some of you would do in this situation. I have done a little research and it seem a little like HITH. But this is only in large cichlids from what I've read so who knows at this point what it is. I would take some pics but I don't have a good enough camera at the moment.

Thanks in advance for all the help!

Any updates?

I have good news. They all seem to be healing very nicely. I changed close to 75% of the water every other day, added salt to the tank during every water change, and kept the tank at 82 degrees for at least a week. The tiny holes or cuts started to heal around day 4. They are almost completely gone now. I'm so happy that these little guys pulled through. They are so much fun to watch.

Thanks,
Mark
