johnny Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi All I started out with about 20 baby discus and once they reached about 5-10mm I lost none. Now about a month later I have been losing roughly 1 every 2 days. What should I be dosing the tank with? They are in a bare bottom tank and I do water changes at least 6 times a week if not every day. Should I be dosing Metronidazole everything few months for all my discus? Should I also be dosing against flues? If so, what with and where’s the easiest place to get it from (and cheapest would be nice)? Any help would be appreciated.

BK Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Could be flukes. Are they eating? Breathing heavy? Any other info you can give us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi Johnny, I had the same problem with my baby discus a while back - losing 1 a day. I treated the tank for flukes with Liquid Prazi and the deaths stopped. See here for info http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/dronta ... 23656.html on where to get it, otherwise you can use droncit tablets.
