    I only quarantine discus.
    At my age, everything is irritating.

    Are there discus in the main tank already? Or is this a new set up? I’ve had some big problems with tetras. So I do qt them before putting into main tank. I tried 3 different types of tetras and had problems with all. First was cardnails 12 lost them all. Next was black phantoms 12 lost all but one. Next rummie noses 12. They are very hard to find by me and I took these guys even though they looked bad. But they survived all but one. So I do qt tetras and now everything I buy at pet stores.

    wow ok, i better catch my redline torpedo barbs and put them with my new discus in currently my qurantine tank, on day 2 with metro and day 2 with kusuri wormer and rock salt.

    Thanks very much for your input all !!
    Good of you!

    No white poo or any signs of ill health so far. Not scared of me at all which i like so much, have had so many discus in the past 30 years that smash there head all over the place, some are so incredibly shy/scared.

    Oh and yes there going into a Brand new 4x2x2 tank bare bottom, with driftwood and plants.

    PS......I dose exact amount or just under with Kusuri Wormer plus, too many times i have had head standing discus with this medication but my fault or LFS fault , told me was safe to double dose. Be very careful all, just my humble advice. Cheers, just wanted to pass that on .
