    Default Just starting keeping Discus again this happens

    I have some Discus and out of the blue my big Blue Diamond develops a spot. I can’t get the image to download as I don’t have a laptop. Can I email anyone with the pic. Please help

    My nitrates are safe
    My water hardness is 429 ppm
    Temp is 84
    PH is around 7.6 to 8
    Fish are eating healthy.

    TIA

    Jamie

    Welcome to Simply Discus Jamie.
    I will send you my e-mail via PM....
    When someone posts in this section we request that you copy and paste the Disease Questionnaire found in this sticky under Emergency Room and fill in as much info as possible which will assist with what could be wrong with your Discus.

    Cheers,
    ...Ralph

    Jamie...I would still fill out the Questionnaire but it either looks like a heater burn or do you have any plecos in the tank?
