lorrainel Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Can someone help me out i'm getting a little confused with what's been happenning with my discus. I've got 7 discus in my tank and six of them are perfectly fine eating normally. I've noticed over the last 3-4 weeks one of my blue diamonds is not blue anymore its now black And it hangs around the back of the tank, gotten thinner. once in a while it'll come back out and eat but then retreats into the back of the tank. I'm pretty sure its not getting picked on (its not the smallest by a long shot!), there are not open sores or wounds on the body, no spots, nothing hanging out of its bottom either. Can someone help me? I was reading through the forum and thought it could be hex but the other discus seem perfectly fine. Any ideas? :-?

Discusguru Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Hi Lorrainel, your discus might have intestinal flagellete.Being 3-4 weeks now, it might be hard to get it back on track. Treat it with metronidazole asap. Increase the temp to 32 deg. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimebag Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 yep, id agree with ron. how big is the fish? the bigger it is, the more likely it is to recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
