IME, tanks that are not deeply cleaned for an extended period of time have all kinds of stuff lurking in substrate and filter media. When this is stirred up in a big way, like removing substrate or cleaning a canister for the first time in months, an outbreak of parasites and/or bacteria can happen on the fish rather quickly.

If you have a quarantine tank, you could move the fish for treatment, and do a thorough cleaning of the main tank- sterilizing filters, hoses, cleaning/removing substrate, multiple large water changes of 80-90%.

Rick is the expert. I'm just making suggestions from limited experience. Listen to Rick.

I would like to hear where I went wrong from anybody please?? Although I seemed to have corrected the problem for now! BIG TURN AROUND for a little bit of salt!

[dirtyplants]

Just out of curiosity did you loose any fish prior to the filter changes? i am sorry I am having problems seeing the pics. well enough.

[LFCYNWA]

OC Discus thanks reply but I clean my cannister filter every month and it is pretty dirty in there so I have ordered a prefilter for my 2000l p/h filter!!

[LFCYNWA]

No I didn't lose any fish prior to the WC.

[LFCYNWA]

SORRY!! and thanks for your concern but these pics I think you are looking at are the pics of the improved discus if you go back a bit in the thread you will see the change! Amazing absolutely SHOCKED! at how a bit of salt can solve this problem!
CHECK IT OUT!!

Why did you add salt to the tank?

Planted Tank Syndrome.

Do you have a QT tanik?

Come on Rick, you know there is no such thing, time to dismount that nag of yours This thread is NOT the place to have yet another discussion on planted tanks. The reason the fish has got sick is down to poor husbandry, it is irrelevant that it is planted or not, though I won't argue it is harder in a planted tank. btw the poor husbandry in this case is adding 3 new fish without apparently qt'ing them, so this is more a case of cross contamination and he would have had the same problem in any type of tank.

As the fish appears to be recovering I'll leave any further advice to this, qt new fish always
