Discus Disease, Please help!!!

[hoang_mt]

Folks,

I am a novice discus keeper. Been in this hobby for quite a while.

My blue diamond is sick, I don't know what the exact disease is, and don't know how to cure it.
Here are the notable symptoms:

- quit eating for about a week or two.
- shy, stressed, stay in the back corner of the tank, behind the sponge filter.
- closed fins.
- look skinnier than used to (probably due to not eating).
- body looks darker, and color looks ugly: this blue diamond used to have very vibrant blue color.

Any helpful advice on how to cure this baby is greatly appreciated.

Michael, Have you seen any long white smooth (not segmented) feces. Frank

It would help if you post your water parameters. PH, Temp, Amonia etc... also how many discus do you have in that tank and how many appear to be sick?
