markoshark Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 My fighters are both kinda sick. The female appears to have pop-eye (and has been put into my smaller tank which I have been dosing with Melafix (decided that whitespot was probably going to be the least of her worries)), and she seems to have a deformed mouth. The male fighter seems to be very lethargic, and not his usual self, ie, not showing off, etc, and wondering whats wrong with them Any ideas?

Adrienne Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Is it possible that the other fish have been chasing them? I don't know much about discus but it sounds like the female may have been in a fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
