Hey all! First time posting here on the Forum. Woke up this morning after double dosing my tank with Prazipro and two discus were bloated. Did a 50% wc and added some epsom salt. One discus looks a lot better, other one is still bloated and having trouble swimming, Thats the run down, details and video below. Thank you fellow Discus keeprs!

1. Please explain the problems with your fish. When did you notice the problems and did anything unusual happen that you think started them?
Been treating for Gill Flukes for almost a month now with varying results. Last night 12/10/17 I did 50% water change and double dosed PraziPro and treated water with Amquel (not plus). Woke up and two fish are bloated. Fed fish normal amount before I did water change.


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).

Woke up 12/11/17 and two Discus were bloated. One of them (a yellow pigeon) is twitching when swimming and then has his head titled down. He is swimming a lot though. The other Discus is more just hiding and has a small head tilt

3. What medications/ treatments have you already tried and what were the results. Include dosage and duration of treatment.

Been treating Gill Flukes and treating water with Prime since November 12th after I noticed symptoms like scratching against plants and breathing with one gill closed. Was following dosing instructions and it was going well and symptoms calmed down then they rose again. 12/9/17 did 70% W/C and gave the fish Salt Dip for 30 minutes, they handled it fairly well. 12/10/17 50% W/C and double dose of Prazipro and treated water with Amquel this time because I read that Hikari suggests either their water conditioner or Amquel. Woke up 12/11/17 with the two bloated discus. 50% W/C and I added some Epsom Salt. Several hours later one Discus looks better, the other is the same.
