Hi can you give me some advice i noticed on one of my discus cotton wool like on my fish, so i checked on here and saw information on it (discus plague) due to me living in the uk some of the stuff i saw i could not get so i checked on some uk listings and i read to use Waterlife Octozin and Interpet no.9.
I got the Octozin and the no.9 and read the postage stamp instructions on the octozin, i put the recomended amount of tablets in and the right amount of no.9 but this is the how to use:

Frequency of treatment
use on days 1,2 &3

this is basically it.

I know with ill discus water treatment is essential so the main question is do i still do the water changes as normal the fish is in a quarantine tank with 90l and re-add the same dose of treatment on day 2 and 3 or can someone advise on how to use this properly and also how much water change should i be using i normally do 10% a day on my big tank but quarnteen tanks i usually do about 30-40% a day is this the right ampount of water change.
thanks for your help

Increase the water change in the quarantine tank to 50% or more daily and treat the tank with Furan 2

Hi Allen While you waiting for medication to arrive do large water changes daily. Do not leave any uneaten food half an hour after fed time.By the way, do not know if you have watched this video by the owner of this site, if you have not then spend an hour of your time and watch it
