Hello All,
I have a Discus that i've had for ablout 4 month. He was always kinda the loner of the group in the 125, though was active in swimming and eating, just not out of my hands. Would stay in the back until I stepped away from the tank.
Well, tonight, I got home from the movies right before the lights go off on the tank, and I was looking them over, and this Discus had what I would call a Tapeworm, as it look as such. White, about 3 1/2 inches and segmented, as there were darker whaite bands evenly spaced.
If this is a tapeworm, why is the discus droping it now? Do they drop them on there ownevery so often and I haden't seen it before. Or could it be from the larger then norm w/c I did today with a lower water temp too.
Also, if this is a tapeworm, please post the name and link to where I can get the drugs
Thanks
