Im asking because Im just curious. If one Cichlid has a parasite what are the signs? Is there poop a different color? What color should the poop be? Also if One Cichlid has a parasite does that mean a healthy cichlid in the same tank will get a parasite too
No i don't think the poop is different in color but what I've noticed in that a Cichlid (African in my case) well stop eating or eat barely and its stomach will start to shrink, you'll notice right away. To prevent parasites do regular water changes and NEVER OVERFEED YOUR FISH, probably the biggest reason for parasites. Anyway also i don't think it will transfer but if kept in unclean water conditions and overfed it may develop a parasite too. Hope this helps good luck!
