Jeff can you post some pictures of the fish. Also when the fish got cloudy eyes was there any other issues ...like cloudy fins or patches of excess slime coat?

[jeff12]

The discus that had cloudy eyes only had cloudy eyes symptoms and it changed into pop eye.

I have treated it with kanaplex and it slowly is going but not fully.



This is another discus that seems to have a hole in its fin. The spot use to be a spot and then a hole popped up.

Bump??????

Jeff,
These things you are experiencing are almost always linked to water quality and tank hygiene. I think you need to look at your filtration and see if its adequate, step your tank maintenance. For instance the pic you posted .. the bottom there looks like its breeding alot of potential problems. Try wiping down the tank walls and bottom before your water changes. A little algae is not a worry but food and feces just breeds problems..

hth,
al

Should I treat the discus with something, because it is ripped, and before it ripped it looked like a fungus of some sort.
