DISEASE QUESTIONNAIRE
Problem
1. Please explain the problems with your fish. When did you notice the problems and did anything unusual happen that you think started them?
- I recently purchased my first 6 discus fish about a month ago, all the fish seemed healthy and vibrant except one, my Blue diamond. From the start he was the outcast, and noticed never really ate much. Well 3 days ago I noticed white gel like feces coming from him, he also has some small bronze colored marks on his body. I am trying to get some good pics but all he does is hide in corner. Also I have an ich outbreak that has only infected my 15 black neons currently. Any help for my blue diamond would be appreciated, thank u
