Losing color, then weight

[samcatj]

I've had two discus that have died on seperate ocassions about a month apart and now I am seeing another with the same signs.

It seems there color starts to fade almost to a pale white in addition to slowly losing weight. Eventually they stay down towards the bottom of the tank then die. Not all of the fish show these signs at the same time in fact it seems that it happens one fish at a time.

Any ideas on meds or what it is they have?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Samcatj

Hi. Can you give us some more info, tank size, # discus, w/c regime, bare bottom?

What other symptoms, what is poop like, any scratching, flashing, darting?
