Unfortunate. Notice the shrinking around the head and linear line. Oh yes, very telling. Also i have thought a few times that this problem is the result of some artifical coloring agents effects on the spleen which controls critical protective responces in the immune system. Of course i have never done a critical study to determine this. But. I have never seen this type of disease complex in good old home grown discus. Most regular hobbyists do not use coloring agents at least to the best of my knowledge. Part of the excitment is waiting ten months to see what you really got or even longer.

Any who

Coloring agents? so thats why they are sick?hormones taking their toll? speak up clearly ..


Funny i got the same fish here that bob has and they are all fine .. so theres a conspiracy against Bob having healthy fish but not Hector??

Stop being ridiculous.. i see same look around the head from german discus so according to your logic german discus are hormoned too??

Seems theres some haters in here dont want to see Discus Sanctuary shine.. im not mentioning no names but you know who you are..

Looks like your in good hands with Tommy

Just wondering.. Hans why dont you help Bob directly since you seem to care about him so much?

[Discus-Hans]

Very easy, because I just saw this post and it doesn't help Bob (or his fish) much to give 20 differend opinions, he started out with other medications as I would use (would stay with salt and NO temp. raise)

Looks like Tommy has some experiance with this so I think (hope) he's in good hands,

Hi there,

My personal opinion to treat this disease. Turn on the heater up to 35degrees and treat it with antibiodtic such as CTC and salt.
I'm sure you they will recover very fast.

Hector come on now.....do I have to come there? lol! Hey, now don't smack me okay? But....

You have only had your fish for 6 days, correct? Isn't the waiting period to see if they start trippin 3 weeks?

And ~

You know....you know you would be right here if your Discus came down with something and as far as the hormone thingy goes that Tommy mentioned...."artificial coloring agents"....

Listen. Pay attention. And don't be so defensive.....Ya just never know about these things.....


Try? For me?


Bob! I am so sorry you are going through this, Sir! Hang in there and try to keep your hands out of all your tanks ~ watch your step now.

Once again I would like to thank you all for the great support on this site. The discus are certainly more active. Ive received alot of suggestions through the posts and PM's and am acting accordingly. As I stated earlier these discus are in a smaller tank now where dosing meds and observation is alot more manageable. I would not wish this on anyones fish but its always a learning process keeping discus. Hey it could be worse if my Hawaiian WB's had this. Thanks again to all and Ill keep you updated.

Bob

Hans, ThankYou for your well wishes and concerns about my discus. I have been given lots of advice to aid them in recovery. Your posting and concerns alone are appreciated.


Hector, Im glad your discus are doing well. Everyone here has an opinion and is entitled to it. The main thing is that your discus look great and are well. As i said earlier I would not wish this on anyone. Good Luck with your beauties.


Marie, Thank You for your well wishes also. Its always good to get a reply from you because if Kinderedspirit has posted you know its worth reading. I will be sure to keep my hands out of the tanks also.

Im going to leave it alone because i respect this forum too much but you are the one started taking personal shots at me first,,next time instead of entertaining your bs just because you are a sponsor im going to the administration here Hans im tired of you picking on me on forums just because you put money in forums pockets dont mean you should be able to start stuff with members !!

Tinsel Town Tommy has been banned.

There was alot of evidence that he had been banned here under several other user names..... American Breeder, discus monk, mark Fleishman...etc.


Bob,
Please contact me if you want help with these fish.
