Bought Discus 2 weeks ago - well Mrs Gingerbeer did as she couldn't resist. 3 Browns 50C peice size- 1 rd spot turquoise - bit bigger 2 gold malboro - or something goldy colour biggest.
3 browns settled straight away - biggest golds was happy - littler gold not as happy - not seen eating but going over and considering food - probably eating when not looking - red spot turqoise never settled in.
spotty never saw eat and would hide more than the others. Generally never showed colour - black stress colour. Figured give him time as struggling to settle - especially as only red spot in with supremist golds. (I reckon my Golds are Nazis) Thought spotty was just stressed and didn;t concern me until one of the browns has also started to hide and turned brown.
Poo is nice and solid so rules out worms. No white slime - no gasping - breathing normal so rules out plague - Woooooo Hooooo
But not happy.
I have dosed tank with tetracycline as a general knock out whatever it is. Any ideas?
Oh year pH about 6.8 no water quality probs. Tanks mates 8 white tip tetras, 2 rams, a couple of killies and some apistos - currently boreli - he is the crankiest in the tank, except for Nazi discus. 6 foot tank so no probs with overcrowding. External and Internal Canister filter on tank. Tank is planted.
