Help!! I've got a sick fish

[savagetom]

Our eight discus have been happy in their 75 gallon home for over 6 motnhs. All of a sudden one of the blue diamonds is upside down on the bottom of the tank. He (or she) has lost all its color. Just sitting there upside down. The other fish seem fine. No obvious signs of disease.

Any ideas? Can the fish be saved? We do have another smaller tank with a few tetra we can move him to.

Thanks for you help.

An upside down blue diamond sounds like bloat. Try epsom salt at 1 tablespoon per 10 gallons. Will not hurt filter or other fish. IF that is the problem the fish should be better by tommorrow.

Thanks. We've got some. I'll give it a try.
