Optonline does not appear to subscribe to alt.binaries.aquaria so I can not
post it there. Any other ideas? I really do need to do this asap as the
fish is acting oddly, and is staying at the top of the tank instead of the
bottom :(.

?? Almost every ISP offers free web space to their members.
If your's doesn't, there are many other web sites offering
free web space. Type "Free web space" into Google & pick one.

Okay Bob, I went ahead and uploaded the photos of the fish to my Yahoo
briefcase. There are several folders there, the one with the fish is titled
'Cichlids need ID'. I hope that someone can resolve my problem.

Excellent photos!
--- Not a jewel. .. those white dots should give it away, but I don't
recognize it.
from the shape of it pointed snout, it looks to be a juvenile fish.
How long is it? It may be a juvenile Herichthys carpinte - but not having
seen juveniles of those, I'm not very sure. Adult carpinte have a rich
blue-green background color with the same white dots all over.

If it is a juvenile, it will change in shape and in color as it
grows.

Thanks for trying Bob. And thank you for the compliment. The fish is about
2.5" inches long. He's not doing well. When we introduced him to the tank,
he was very defensive and was going for every thing that moved. Several
days later he retreated to the top of the tank and his breathing appeared
labored. Today, he hasn't eaten and there is a big (Fungus) gash in the mid
of his body. He is also being picked on by the other fish, so I'm going to
take him out. As of last night I started the tank on Maracyn (Mardel) and
Maroxy (Mardel). I looked at some photos of the Herichthys carpinte that
are available online, my fish does not look like them.

Thank you,
Mariana

It's not. A Jaguar cichlid is a Managuense. I have one of those.
The mystery cichlid died last night :(. The medicine had no impact on him
unless it was too late. I hope that it will help the rest of the fish which
appear okay with the exception of one firemouth. There is a big white
growth from his right nostril even though he is eating and being quite
lively!
