i also added regular aquarium salt to the tank, 1 and half spoon per 10 gallons. dont try to feed for the first 2 days of treatment. no epsom salt.
Ed, just make sure they r well before mixing. I think i might have to take them out and med them. They seem real active w/the others but i observe @ feeding time and i don't see them eating.
I first did a 7 day w/kenamycin and the three survived, but ate a tiny bit. Then i started met but decided to stop and put them in w./the rest to see if maybe that was it, but i think i will do a complete dose this time. I will be doing the same routine as u did. Thanx for the advice. Its well appreciated

Eileen, make sure to keep an eye on the rest of your fish. If the challengers are still sick you may have infected the rest by putting them together before the metro treatment was complete.

Have you looked in to Jungle Parasite Clear? It has metro and others and seemed to have worked well for most folks including myself.

Hi Karen. I put them together because I thought it might be a trama for the little guys. Is bacterial contagious? I watch them all the time now that they r in my living room.
No, not yet. I don't want to dump all kinds of meds right now. I plan on putting them back today in qt w/a full dose of metro.

I guess I don't know for sure on that Eileen, I just would have been of the mind to keep the sick ones separated from the healthy ones. But, if it's not contagious then the rest are probably fine.
Good luck on treating the remaining two!

I personally would try whatever advice Al gave you! I say this for the fact that Al is the Alenquer master...Not only that, he has raised a few discus in his days. You have his offspring and I cant think of anyone better to diagnose any problems you might be having than him!
Hope they turn around for you!
