LYNDYLOO Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I got this Blue Turk Discus, he has been unwell for a wee while, but after spending sometime in the Hospital Tank and completing a course of Furan2 then Metro, hae has now decided to throw a sicky again :roll: He was Transferred back to the Main Tank a few weeks back, there is something not quite right about him :roll: He seems to hide away in the Corner, he has turned dark in Colour, and he does get bullied by the other Discus in the Tank which worries me, I try and feed the other Discus on the right side of the Tank and feed him on the left side, just to make sure he is getting something to eat. I'm seriously thinking of removing him and popping him in with the Discsu I get a few weeks ago. Should I move him into the other Tank with the other Discus or does he need another stint in Solitary Confinement once again, meaning the Hospital tank?? Any help would be great guys.

Discusguru Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Take it out . The poor fish probably hasn't fully recovered and all the stress of being picked at by the others make the fish go bad again :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Ok Back to the Hospital Tank he goes then. Do I need to medicate him again Ron?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LYNDYLOO Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 No, It's not the one I got from the Petshop Mincie. I got the other Blue Turk a wee while ago, along with a couple of others. All my other Discus get on great, but when I pop this Fella back into the Tank things go haywire, I'm not sure if the other Discus see him as a Stranger, even though he came with the other 2 Discus I got. He's now been taken out of the Main Tank, will pop him into the Hospital Tank again, not sure whether I need to be treating him with Meds again Just waiting for Ron to Reply to that. Wondering if maybe I pop him into the Tank with my Newest Addition once he's Fit and Healthy again, rather than popping him back into the Main Tank again to be bullied by the others.

Discusguru Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 See how the discus is doing in with your new BT. If the fish is happy, eating , good colour and full of beans then don't medicate. WC more often and add some rock salt . New BT look good :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 He seems to be as Gentle as, he's in with a few Guppies at the moment. He was taken into the Petshop by a Lady, along with the Hoplo, they were in the same Tank together when they lived with her, so I didn't have the heart to seperate them, so now they are a Quarantine Tank together. He doesn't bother the Guppies at all, he just watches them swim past him, looks rather funny considering how big he his compaired to them.

LYNDYLOO Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Right I've taken him out the Main Tank, popped him into the Hospital Tank and he looks fine. His colour has returned to normal, he's swimming round quite happily, and eating normally again. I'm now thinking he doesn't like being in with the other Discus in the Main Tank, not that I blame him, they did used to Bully him. Plan now is to give him a week or so in the Hospital Tank, feed him up, then transfer him into the other Tank with my New Discus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquila Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I think that is a great idea.. I would wait till he turns right in the hospital tank and then move him with the new addition. I bet that their personalities will mesh much better from the sounds of it. Also, the new guy could probably do with some company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYNDYLOO Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 New Guy seems quite happy on his own, has been on his own for awhile at the Petshop, so I guess he's getting used to it now. :roll: I think he will be far happier with a playmate So will have 2 Blue Turks in the Same Tank, could look rather effective I think Blue Turk in the Hospital Tank is doing well this morning :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
