    Default Need help to identify disease/ treatment

    Hello, i need help to identify what is wrong with my fish and what treatment should i use.
    Some of my discus breathing really fast and one by one i have been loosing them. Younger ones mostly.
    Gills seems to be sticking out and one fish has something floating from gills.

    i have tried combination of esha medicines (GDEX,Hexamita)
    recently had amonia spike in water but it was quickly eliminated

    smallest fish is not eating and it look really weak, it happened 3 times before and i they always died.

    Tank/Water

    tank is overcrowded but i have 3 filters ( internal juwel bioflow and 2 x eihem pro4+)
    water is constantly changed with RO. (i set up automatic drain valve to change about 5-10% of water 6-8 times a day)

    few plants and white sand bottom


    - temp 28C

    - ph 6.5

    - ammonia reading 0

    - nitrite reading 0

    - nitrate reading 20ppm

    I see problems with the fish as well as a problem with your water parameters. It would still be helpful if you would fill out the form. http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...lease-complete

    Yes! Since this tank is over crowded, water quality is likely an issue. Filling out the form will give us much of the information we need to make a solid recommendation.
