not sure on what medication to use

[csarkar001]

two of my slow growers appear to be getting sick. they are still eating but have turned dark in color and have trouble steadying themselves while swiming. they seem to "catch themselves" every few seconds.

not sure how/if to treat with meds. any advice?

I agree with Graham, please copy and paste the disease questionnaire into a post and answer the questions.

i did a couple of very large water changes and they look better. if this remains a problem, i'll submit the questionaire. thanks much.

Water is the key

lol. you crack me up, eddie. but you're so right. 9 months into the discus bug, its beginning to become clear to me ... my water, that is.

It sounds to me like these to affected fish are doomed. Discus like this rarely recover and no treatment will restore the lost time when the are still growing fast.
Discus die slowly but my feeling is that they are already dead but it just hasn't registered with them...yet.
