    Looks like the remaining three are going to make it. I transferred them to my 125G tank with 11 other domestic discus from Hans. Been around a month now and all are doing fine. I didn't want to leave the three wilds in the 40G breeder so I said what the hell, moved them. No plans for now for any addition fish of any kind. All fish are healthy and do not want to upset the balance in my tank that I have now. Check video: https://youtu.be/uJZOvZRZNvQ. Thanks all for your support, I'm a very happy camper for now.

    Hope all stays as well as it looks right now. Maybe you get really lucky and one of them decides to pair up with one of those solids on the left, would make for some very pretty offspring.

    Pretty mellow in there. A happy camper is a good thing. Long may they swim.

    I was going to say something similar... Maybe there will be a silver lining and you get some fun off spring!

    Great result, not sure what it demonstrates as far as whirling goes, it's such a mystery disease. Maybe they were the only ones with the parasite /maybe you changed the conditions in the tank and solved a problem. There's too many variables. But either way, it does demonstrate that it's possible to `not lose the lot` or to `have hope`.

    I lost one of eight to whirling. I'm convinced it was because I changed my WC/ feeding routine. Haven't had a problem since. Hope yours are the same. Three looks kinda cool in there.

    Well it's been about a month now and all fish are doing just fine. At this stage I'm kinda of burned out on discus keeping. That's way I decided to combine the two. I'm letting things happen, really looking for an excuse to start all over again if this move proves wrong. I've had the majority of domestics from Hans well over three years now. Thanks again for all inputs, will keep on trucking folks with these fish for now until something happens in the future.

    I can understand not wanting two discus tanks. One is enough. Best of luck going forward.
