Fishie123 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 I have a 2 year old leopard snake skin Discus("Male"). Recently he has been getting skinnier and skinnier. I assumed that I haven't been feeding the discus much. So I upped my feeding assuming he will be back to normal. Two days ago, he was outside of the discus group at the top of the tank alone. Yesterday I saw him at the far right of the tank by himself breathing really slowly. Today he was dead.... I don't know what has caused this. I have asked a friend regarding it, and they said it could be caused by worming. If it is worms, do I treat the tank or do I treat the discus individual. What would I need to get?And how would I know? Please help, I do not want to loss my babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henward Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 could be chronic amonia exposure if you had a amonia spike or exposure for a while. that can retard their appetite and lead to chronic problems perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
