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 noticed white poop from one of my discus which eas not feeding and had a clamped dorsal fin. Other fish eas flashing and darting as well but no other symptoms like the sick one with white poop
2. Symptoms (i.e. turning dark, excess slime, not eating, clamped fins, flashing, darting, clamped gills, white/yellow/green poop, hiding, headstanding or tailstanding, white on tips of fins, rotting or fungus, blisters/white zits on fish, bloated, cloudy eyes, wounds).
White poop feom only one fish, other flashing and darting
3. What medications/ treatments have you already tried and what were the results. Include dosage and duration of treatment.
I treated the tank with prazi after an 80% water change. 48 hours later I did a 40% water change, cleaned filter and media, then dosed the tank with Metro. Now minutes after dosing fish are acting odd and turned extremely dark, is this a sign of poisening? Or is this normal100830
