HandS Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I have had these two discus for about a week now and i think they have gill fluke. Symptoms are heavy, exaggerated breathing, and a thin clear film that extends past the gill plates when they breath. I am going to treet with fluke tabs (unless anyone here thinks otherwise) but was wondering wether to treet the tank they are in or put them into another tank for treetment. The reason why i ask is because the tank they are in has alot of young bn's and a coupple of panda cory's, and there is another post on this site that states that fluke tabs are toxic to these fish. Any advice will be greatly appreicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hi Hands, Personally I would use a separate tank. Symptoms of Gill Flukes are erratic flicking of the fish (similar to white spot).. and on close examination with a good lens you can see the flukes, but the only sure way is to take a smear and look under a scope.

kim Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 if you can get your hands on fluke tabs as brooklands have sold out, one of my friends could only get hold of a few packs before the shops sold out, so if you see it and keep discus grab some!!!!!
