Ok so i'm a bit scared to post this thread incase i get told off by everyone :C
But here goes! I have a 100 litre community tank with harlequin rasboras, a few guppies and a few corydoras, I recently took on a small red-turq discus who is about 4cm's, called Brain :)
Anyway he's beautifully coloured, but hadn't been growing very much so i bought some Kisuri wormer and wormed him a few days ago, he's MUCH happier eating heaps and swimming around like a crazy little guy, and bobbing at the side of the tank when i come into the room to greet me :)
I'm now feeding him on discus cubes, some bloodworm and granules ...
My question is; how long until i should start seeing a change in his size! I've had him for about 3 months, and he's stayed pretty much as dinky as ever over that time (he was in a small tank with HUNDREDS of discus when i bought him, i knew i couldnt take many but just wanted to save a couple, i took him and one of his brothers who sadly died) :(
I was recommended that worming him might get rid of any parasites that have stopped the poor little guy from growing, i hope he'll be ok! Have grown very attached to Brain :)
Thanks in advance, Anna x
