1. First sing of problem was my neon tetras dyeing off, (freaked me out thinking tetra disease ), got rid of all of them. then I got some White spots on my large male. and some fin damage on my other large male.( figured fighting so I separated them), then later The smallest of the discus was being picked on and started clamping. not eating. this all stared about 3 months ago and slowly progressed.
2. I have had Stringy white poop. Excess slime. Red protruding anus worms. White spots on body and fins. only a few at a time on one fish. Fin rot, tail standing and death.
3. every time I get new fish they go into a qt tank and get Wormer plus. so i had some on hand
I dosed 1 gram of cloverleaf absolute wormer plus per 100 gallons, 6 days ago resulting in the death of on of my discus. (looked good stopped clamping colors cam back). next day he was tail standing.( put him in the qt with salt and he didn't make it threw the night.)
also flushed the main tank. 75% water change and then put the drip system on at 100 gal in 24 hrs for a additional 60% daily change.
waited 48 hrs and now Im doing a second round as theres still more worms protruding in my large male and female breeding pair.
4. 100 Gal display 8 months old currently 1 pair( 6-7") and a Third wheel ( 5") 3 total, was 4, 5 days ago . and 50 gal breeder with a aged xxl sponge filter set up 2 discus ( 6" ) currently doing there thing. one fish was super emaciated when i received her 5 months ago but was since wormed and recovered
5. Water change = 25 percent eod and a charcoal kdf filtered drip system changing around 100% every 10 days.
6. display Tank is 6-7 months old and has 1" of PFS and my 3 month old breeder set up is around 3 months old with a sponge filter that has been living in the display since day one.
7. no aged water but never noticed any ph swing. if there is its minor 6.8 -7
8. as all my water is in line dechlorinated i typically just add in a little nutra fin aqua plus once a week directly to tank just to be safe.
9. temp is 85-86
ph 6.8
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 0
all municipal water. its very high quality
10. i did add a few plants in lava rock a few days before i went to flubendazole. thinking it would help the fish in that display hide from the breading pair but all they did was huddle closer to the big pair.
11. auto feeder 2 times daily with xl tetra color granules and was feeding the odd hikira frozen blood worm as treats.

sorry for sidways pic. this ones beyond me.
Any who. I'm ordering more flubendazole ( in Canada so its actually not easy to source, suggestions would be welcome) to treat again in 3 weeks, can I add salt with flu? should I go to levamisole? or just stay the course. . every fish I have now is eating is health is even actively breeding. but I need to get on top of things clearly.
and input would be wecolme.
