HELP whats wrong with my africans

[Rastapus]

What buffers are you using?

[Brisch]

seachem marine buffer, buffers to 8.3 then i use a kh boost made by nutrafin to try to keep it up

[Brisch]

it looks like they are scratching their faces on stuff not there whole body

[Rastapus]

Sounds like you have gill flukes, very common in African Cichlids. Clout, Prazipro or Fluke tabs will clear it up. You need to get something in there tomorrow by the sounds of it. The flukes anchor onto the gills and extract oxygen which is why they are breathing heavy. No good.

[Brisch]

will jungle parasite clear, acriflavin, or o the blue ich treatment help until then?

[Rastapus]

Doubtful. Flukes are very strong and are usually only disrupted by Fluke specific medications. Nothing you have mentioned will likely have effect.

[Brisch]

okill pick some stuff up tomorrow and ill keep you posted as to the result

[Mferko]

good luck, i hope it works!

[Smiladon]

Definitely go with Fluke based meds as Grant suggested. You dont want to risk anything.

I hope the all everything turns out well. Keep us updated.

I added clout, how long does it usually take to show improvements?
