I have 3 discus, 2 are about 2 - 2 1/2 inches and 1 at about 3 inches. They are in a 30 gal. gravel bottom planted tank with 4 glo-lites and a cory. No nitrates, nitrites or ammonia and ph is about 7.0water temp at 85. I use black water in their tank with water changes and I do a minimum of 1/3 of a tank water changes every other day, they all are eating.
:confused::confused::confused:
Since my post in another thread/area,
I just had to pull one that I have been monitoring closely, he is still eating but his color has gone dark again and the red from his eyes is gone and he is hiding alot and he appears to be kinda, sunken? I am not sure how to treat him so unless I get some advice I will start treating him with some meds for internal parasites when I go to lfs tomorrow morning. As of now I have pulled him and put into a bare 10 gal by himself that is set at 86 temp. Please any advice I do want to save him.
Problem
1. Please explain the problems with your fish/when and how they started
Red is gone from eyes, dark color appears kinda sunken in. Been watching him for a few days.
2. Symptoms (i.e. turning dark, excess slime, not eating, clamped fins, flashing, darting, clamped gills, white/yellow/green poop, hiding, headstanding or tailstanding, white on tips of fins, rotting or fungus, blisters/ white zits on fish, bloated, cloudy eyes, wounds)
Hiding, dorsal not standing tall, haven't noticed poop look
3. What medications/ treatments that you have already tried and results. Include dosages and duration of treatment.
Have pulled him from 30 gal to bare 10 gal. Thats it so far.
Tank/Water
