DISEASE QUESTIONNAIRE
Problem
1. Please explain the problems with your fish/when and how they started
Ok this is how it goes, i have a 100gallon tank , there was already 3 wild blue discus in it perfectly healthy.
1 week ago i got 4 heckel discus from a friend because he sold his aquarium.
All seemed to be fine except the 4th day the biggest heckel starting acting crazy
out of the blue 2-3 times per day he will go crazy and run into the glass , on the woods etc etc
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)
Running around like crazy, No scratching , No fast breathing, his fins are always errupted, the fish seems healthy except when he goes berserk.
he seems a bit restlessly like smthing is wrong but i cant tell for sure what is going on.
last 2 days i havent seen him eat , he runs towards the food but i noticed he doesnt eat( i ll monitor it with bloodworms later )
3. What medications/ treatments that you have already tried and results. Include dosages and duration of treatment.
Some salt for the stress and scratched like 1gr / 10L
and a mild medicine cold Bacteria Control - Beaphar for the scratches to prevent further damage.
