Hi, bought my first dwarf cichlids 6 weeks ago: 1 male and 2 female mikrogeophagus ramirezi. Had them in a 65 litre community tank with rasboras, tetras and cherry barbs with lots of plants. Water quality is very good; soft and slightly acidic.
I found the male a couple of mornings ago at the bottom of the tank 'panting'. I spoke to my trusted lfs and they said he had a common viral infection and he wasn't going to make it and now I have lost a female. Can't find any information on this on the web, please could you point me at something. Also I want to try again, is there anything I can do to the tank to get rid of the infection, the rest of the fish are fine? Anything I can do to sent the tank up better (I have had some trouble with algae on the water surface)?
Thank-you, Robert
