I bought a couple freshwater flounder a couple weeks back. Unfortunately I
put them in a tank with "mildly" aggressive cichlids (they managed to kill two other cichlids, all of my shrimp and the crawdad). They ate one flounder and the other is badly scarred on his back with his fins all torn up. I have traded in all of my cichlids and I am wondering if the flounder will ever get better. I have treated the tank with Melafix and Fungus Clear, it has been a week since the cichlids have been removed. The flounder's condition has not improved. He seems healthy in that he swims around and acts normally but his fins and scars are not looking good. Here's the catch: I want to populate my tank with Mpimbwe Frontosa, they shouldn't be nearly as aggressive as the other fish I had. But I don't want to introduce them to a tank that is infected. I have had two other fish that have inhabited this tank through this whole shebang (a bristlenosed pleco and a flying fox) they are doing superb. They show no signs of disease. How can I tell if my flounder has a disease? Should I flush him now before the Mpimbwe arrive in case he is infected? Or should I take a chance and simply introduce them as normal? Should I add Fungus Clear when I do introduce just to make sure? What other precautions should I take?
