All,
I bought two discus last week and now they are very sick. They both had a little ick last weekend so my lfs gave me some clout by mardel to use. They said that is what they use for ick. I have followed the directions and treated it every day for the last 4 days along with doing a 25% water change before each treatment. I also added salt. I came home today and the blue one still has some ick and has a large white spot on both eyes, the melon one has a large white spot on its back bottom fin, ick and cloudy fins. I am at a loss. My water tests are good. PH is 7 and temp is at 82 since I have delicate plants. Can anyone suggest anything else? I do not want my other two that are healthy to get sick. My tank is 55 gal. I have 4 discus and two catfish.
Also I have noticed that where the sick two are hiding in the tank there is always a foamy looking green poop on the sand. No other fish have been in the area.
Thanks,
Dina
