White krud on discus

Featured Replies

I'm not sure if this is a fungus or not, but, one of my two new discus has white stuff hanging from it. It looks fluffy and moves around a bit as it's attached to the fish. I noticed it after letting them out of the bags into their new home. I have so fare treated the tank with stress coat and melafix. I Suspect it maybe white spot but I would like the oppinion of somebody else how has kept discus before.

If it is white spot can some one recommend a treadment that doesn't make my tank look like a toilet with that blue junk in it.

Here is a very poor photo, the green arrow points out some of the stuff on him

Oh and both of them are otherwise fine. Very curious and very hungry.

White spot forms very obvious spots so it won't be that. It looks like what my knife fish had a while ago. I put some melafix-like stuff in and it cleared up in a few days.

Hard to tell from photo. Maybe damage from transit resulting in fungus. Try Aquaflivane. Can't say for sure.

It's getting better now. Almost gone infact. I thought it could be white spot to start with because it came up in a few white specks. But they grew bigger and became fluffy.
