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 2 weeks ago one of my discus wasn't eating. He sort of says away from the food during feeding time when he used to be like the others and go after the food immediately.
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).
Everything seems fine. Just not eating is the only thing I have noticed. Maybe more 'shy' and reclusive. Definitely more prosaic when compared to previous behavior
3. What medications/ treatments have you already tried and what were the results. Include dosage and duration of treatment.
Nothing at the moment
Tank/Water

116gal tank
10 Discus

6. How long has tank been running? Is it bare bottom? If you have substrate, what type and how deep is it?
Sand Substrate. Tanks been running since 2014
7. Do you age your water? If you do for how long and what is the ph swing.
I treat the water with SeaChem Prime. pH regulator is attached with CO2 (formally a planted tank). pH has been 7.4 since inception.
