    Unfortunatly i dont have tds meter.
    Another seizure just happend, one discus started having one and it triggered another to have one, it went from very dark almost black, to bright pink lying on the bottom of the tank lifeless not breathing for 10 seconds, it then came around and turned black again after 10 seconds.

    Woke up this morning to a dead discus on the floor of the tank, presumably from the seizures.
    Another discus is lying against the side of the tank, nearly black in colour.
    Can anyone offer any medication advice before the rest of them die ?

    Have you reached out to the LFS where you got them, do they have any info of the source of them or what the breeder does?

    Damn ross, I feel for you, you were off to a great start... Im still tossed up between a water issue, parasite or something with that pump or a combo of it all... What meds do you even have access to?

    The heater was changed out?

    So far the discus havnt changed much, on day 3 of flubendazole treatment, the seizures have stopped (i havent seen any anyway) some of the discus may be a bit lighter in colour but hard to tell, 2 are still also not eating. Any advice ?
