Hi Paul . It's nice to hear from you here on the forum again. I hope you are doing well .
Unfortunately I still dont use a microscope to detect pathogens on my discus . It's something that I plan as my next purchase but so far I can only rely on the symptoms.
As for pulling a fish scales the I've never done it before , but I can try to do that .
There isnt any pronounced flashing and flicking behaviour and the spots look more like peppering under the skin rather than sticking out .
Other thing I notice is that there are visible pale colour dots /patches on the skin along with the black spots .They can be seen more clearly on the face of the discus in this second video In this post.
Snails , Helena assassin snails, got tons of them .There used to be MTS and Ramshorn snails and now there are only Assassin's left .It might be that I got this pathogen along with the Assassin's that I bought in March , this past year. It would be hard to get rid from all of them without sterilizing the tank and equipment and ditching all the plants though .I would like to postpone this as my last resort .
I will try a week or two of QT isolation after a PP dip and if that won't work I will try treating the main tank with Prazi and Levamisole to see if that helps .
Two other SS have spots here and there too , but they are definitely not progressing , or progress so slowly that I can't even notice .
Thanks again for your support Paul and kudos for my friends Pat and Liz that made an effort to reach out for you .

Hi Filip - I know that this is a very old thread, but I'd like to know what treatment ended up working? I have a SS who is going through something practically identical to yours. Thank you
