My Discus has been pooping some weird stuff for about a week. It eats and is acting completely normal except for having some funky bowl movements. When the discus makes a quick turn or moves quickly the poop falls off and breaks apart.
I have been feeding a mixed diet of flakes and pellets 2-3 times a day. It has probably been over a month since I last fed any frozen foods.
I have added a few new plants in the last few weeks.
Temp: 83°F
PH: 7.6-7.8
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 20 ppm (yikes!)
Did a 50% water change after seeing this.
The current setup is about 3 months old.
Tankmates are 6 zebra danios, hillstream loach, 4 ottos, kuli loach, one neon Tetra, 2 mystery snails.
Fluval 107 canister filter with an inline UVC clarifier and a Seachem Tidal 35. As well as a few air stones.
I have the following medications available to me;
Fritz Maracyn
Fritz ParaCleanse
Fritz Expel-P
PraziPro
API General Cure
If I need something else I'll have to order it.
I have to be able to treat it in its current aquarium that has lots of live plants. I don't have another empty aquarium set up. I do have a spare 10 gallon but it wouldn't be cycled.
I have not treated it with anything as of yet. I'm hoping it's just a little diarrhea and not something more serious.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
