Hi folks,
Since many people run into diseases when acquiring new apistos, would it be a good idea to list down most of the diseases and its solution to the diseases?

A good idea.
However, I would say that this would be under fish care and nutrition forum as these problems are not exclusive to Cichlids.
Identifying the problem may not be too difficult, identifying the cause of the problem is tricky and the solution is the most difficult.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
Thanks benny, hope it gets going for the benefit of our fellow hobbyist!!

usually when apisto come with disease, its mostly internal bacteria.
1. Sunken Belly - Internal Bacteria
2. Pop Eye - Internal Bacteria
3. Grasping Heavily - ph shock??
4. Clamp fins- Internal Bacteria, Stress
5. Sluggish- Most likely caused by Live Feed not fresh: Internal Bacteria
These are a few i encounter Hope that help.
Encountered body ulcer on apisto and usually are incurable and will die eventually anyone encounter before?
What about bloated stomachs? what is it caused by? What kind of medicines do you guys standby at home? I'm thinking of getting a bottle of Sera's Omnipur for general diseases?

I always used interpet one. Jap powder good for parasite not internal bacteria. I find that if we feed the apisto with vitamin supplement, less prone to get these outbreak. I used S7 and ADA Vitamix.
I heard that S7 is only added into water and not into food, is that true? I'm using Sera's Fishtamin.....do you add vitamin supplement into the water or to the food?

I'm encountering this problem currently, the apisto don't eat what i feed it usually and i can see its waste (transculent) is stuck at its "anus" for a long period of time.. can anyone help please..
Cacatuoides, S7 n ADA vitamix r dosed into the water directly, for food supplement, i recommend the vmaxx gel. thumbs up for that..
yaya, i think ya apisto got internal parasite. Need to deworm them or so called flush out the parasite..
caca,
some US discus breeders use a garlic additive to tetra bits before feeding.
i wonder if someone has tried this for apistos?
after reading your post i notice the slight bloating and lethargic behaviour with one of my pairs.

It is a good day to die!!!
I finally uploaded an avatar and Cupid is dead!!!
Try searching using the keyword "garlic". Can use garlic extracts or Seachem Garlic Guard. But these are not one-week-wonder kind of stuff, it's for long term health.
