hi, no i dont think ive done anything different the only thing i can think of is that there seems to be quite a bit of alge growing on the log which the fish seem to love eating? :-? apart from that i do water changes daily 40 litres of filtered water our tank is 200 liters could it be over crouding? as we have 7 discus in there and a couple of small baby clown loaches. i have done a standard ph test and the water normally nutrual although we have recently had a pair pair up and spawn on the glass of the tank so would that do it maybe? we have since then removed the pair and put them in a breeding tank so i was thinking the water conditions shouldent be that bad if they r trying to spawn?

i will get some of that i think but first can u give me ur opinion about the fish as i know it is hard to make a diagnosis they have a lack of appetite to what they would normally eat and some have almost no appetite ,some of them have white fecies and are quite stresed looking as there colouration is darker than normal but not all fish we have 7 discus all vary in size also ive noticed that some of them shoot past the log in the tank scraping themselfs on it what do u think am i on the right path? thanks again

yes you r right ive just been reading about it on the web page i was given to look at, man dont the pet shops know anything. i did read that aparently you can use a bird wormer to treat for worms but dont know about parasites :-? . thanks for your help ill keep looking but be good to hear if you find anything two or anyone else thanks guys roxston
