HELP near brown spots on fish?
I have 2 blood parrot and oscar the female blood copier laid eggs then guarded them with her life but the other two ate them anyways presently she has brown spots on her are the spots just scale disfavour or a parasite. Now the eggs are gone I have a happy tank agian but she looks discouraging but dose not act bad.

Answers: I can't see the photo. hard to communicate which they might be. I would add about a teaspoon of non-iodized tablesalt per gallon in your reservoir. Salt will either help heal any wounds or possibly irritate any vermin.
BTW, the hybrid "parrot cichlids" are supposed to be sterile so you won't likely ever get any fry from them unless possibly they could contained by turn hybridize with another fish.
