Hi Yvonne,
As Chad Said, asking for info on Discus Plague will get you a mixed bag of answers from everyone that believes it exists fervently and fanatically to the point of blindness to those that don't think its any one disease but a whole complex of illnesses with similar symptoms...

If I can make a suggestion?...If you have sick discus, take a few moments to tell us whats going on in as much detail as possible and theres a good chance we can steer you towards recovery.
