bli Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Yesterday while doing a daily water change, siphon and general clean I must have scared one of my turqs and caused it to run into something and scratch its head. As the photos can hopefully show, the discus has taken a small scrape of scales and skin off its head and I also noticed a small flesh-like spot on one of its fins... not quite sure what it is, any ideas? Will the fish heal alright in the tank? Do i need to treat with anything? I have been adding a little more Aquaplus with my Waterchanges than usual? Mod = Warren: Pictures removed as they have too big file size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 sorry can't answer your question but wanted to say what an AWESOME tank !!! very very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bli Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Thanks Billaney, I saw your new setup as well and compliments go out to you as well. Im pretty new to the hobby and also discus (started out with Geo Suris) so pretty stoked with how the tank is looking so far. Im loving the fact I can actually keep plants with beautiful fish, the geos wouldn't have let me have some of the small ground cover plants that I have now!

Discusguru Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I don't think there's anything to panic about. They should heal by itself. Very nice setup indeed. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Discus are prone to this type of injury due to their unusual shape and because they can spook easily. I've had worse injuries on mine from the same thing happening. Heals up no problems and you often can't even tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 agreed, keep the water nice and clean and it will heal up in no time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
