Hi, I have a 100 gallon tank with 3 gold severums, and 2 blood parrots. The blood parrots have lost interest in the food that i have been giving them (pellets and blood worms/brine shrimp). All they do is watch the severums eat, they don’t even try to eat. I have noticed some whitish stuff by their eyes/ gills. Is this a fungus or something? There isn’t very much of the white stuff, just a little. I started putting maracide in there a couple days ago. What’s wrong? Please help!

African (Malawi) cichlid tank. 75 gallons, established. PH 7.5-8.0. Chichlid salt used. No plants, only rockscape. Bought 6 puffers ~8 weeks ago. Feed mosquito larvae, brine shrimp, krill. I feed them once a day. Occasionally skip a day. Also pellet, flake, cichlid food. The puffers don’t seem to eat these. No signs of illness. No problems with other fish in the tank. Found three of the puffers dead, two days ago. One is now sick. THe other two lay on the bottom but seem to have revived and are swimming around None of them have looked sick- no ich, fungus, etc. Help. I really like these guys and am not sure what to do. Is the Ph too high for them? Not enough or too muh salt? No cover? Wrong food? looked them up on the net but cannot find the answers to these questions. I have a community tank and a guppy tank I could move them to if the ph is an issue (they are 7.0)- but if so, how do you do it without shocking them by the ph change? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

also i recently got another dwarf frog (so that makes the 2) and after he was in the tank for a while i noticed a white little thread of something. is it the fungus or just some skin they shed? im putting the frozen brine shrimp in with fish flakes for them to eat .would that be ok. and after i added 3 more tetras and another african dwarf frog the tank has gotten much dirtier faster even w/ the filter what can i do.now i have 5 tetras and 2 dwarf frogs but should i get another tank or get rid of some. and lastly what if the frogs mate and how can i stop them?
and i’ve looked up info on them but could anybody give me some websites or good info?
ok yesterday one of the neon tetras got caught in a plant and died. so now would it be fine?
ok most of you were right. another fish died so now i have 3 tetras and 2 frogs but that should be fine. i cleaned out the tank and put in a new filter cartridge but the 2 that died were the new ones and maybe they were sick. Anyway they’re all healthy looking and have been fine. Please give a response and maybe a website i could visit to get more info.
