Young Discus Early symptoms need help diagnosing.

[Trendy]

Hey Guys I'm new to Discus I have 4 young discus that are growing nicely but this morning I noticed some spots on one of their fins. Does not look like ICK which I have treated before on other fish. Spots are cloudy and a little wider.

Maybe its a form of fungus, my water is 0's across the board and I keep it at 84. So I don't think water quality is much of an issue.


I have attached a photo.

Thanks guys.

These do look like the pimples that fish get from time to time when water quality is sub-par. What is your water change regimen? Bare bottom or substrate?

I do 25% a day and have pool filter sand as a substrate my water tests 0's and the ph is 6.2-7

Looks like broken fin rays from them picking at each other that may be getting a little infected. it's normal behavior for them to spar some, especially if they're trying to establish a new pecking order for one reason or another. Bump up your water changes to 50% daily it should go away in a few days.
