Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me with my fish. I've got a 4 foot tank, ph 6.8, temp 31degrees,(I'm from australia). I bought 12 baby discus the other day, at first they were all hiding behind a plant, rapid breathing, and 3 went really dark. They also have white faeces. the aquarium shop gave me some fluke and tapeworm tablets. Most of them are swimming around happy now, except for 3 who are still dark. Is there something else I can do?
My tank has been running now for 10 months, there are 4neons, and a lace gourami. I've been doing water changes every day.

Do you have a test kit for your water? What are your readings? Do you use a carbon filter?

no ammonia or nitrate,nitrite.
I have a canister filter with that black spongey thing inside.
