DISEASE QUESTIONNAIRE

Problem

1. Please explain the problems with your fish. When did you notice the problems and did anything unusual happen that you think started them?

I noticed about 4 days ago two of my discus are having fin issues, not too sure why or how this happened but nothing out of the ordinary has been happening.

2. Symptoms (i.e. turning dark, excess slime, not eating, clamped fins, flashing, darting, clamped gills, white/yellow/green poop, hiding, headstanding or tailstanding, white on tips of fins, rotting or fungus, blisters/white zits on fish, bloated, cloudy eyes, wounds).

The wild discus has been eating, swimming fine, Not sure what clamped fins are, not sure what flashing is, has not been darting, not sure what clamped gills are, normal coloured poop, seems as though there is some rotting or as if someone has taken a chunk out of some of his fins?

The spotted discus has been hiding a lot, and has a bit of fin damage as well.

My other discus have been itching every now and then but not constantly.

3. What medications/ treatments have you already tried and what were the results. Include dosage and duration of treatment.
