I am currently being bombarded with sick discus.
2 discus in my BB tank have fallen ill with stringy clear faeces. I am ucrrently treating them in a 10L bucket with an airstone and 50W heater. I went to my LFS and told them the symptoms of my discus, i asked if metro was a good idea he said yeah metro will do it but instead he offered me one of his products called "Huey Hung's super killed" (internal parasite killer). I'm pretty sure its manufactured in Taiwan, anyways i bought it seeing as he gave me a $5 discount :? My discus have been in the bucket with the medication for 1 1/2 days now, not eating much but then again its only been 1 and a half days. Just wondering if anyone has used this medication and if it is effective? NOTE: It does NOT say what it contains :x
Any my other two discus in my planted tank have been sick for quite a while, ive tried using the medication above to get rid of internal parasites but doubt it is. 1 of them is just shedding cotton like clear slime and not eating (my other discus had this too, it was alot more "serious" though and it passed out last night :evil: ).
The other is eating BARELY (maybe he swallows 1 or 2 brine shrimp a day, the rest he spits out), he was a healthy leopard but has now changed his behaviour, his fins are shaking REALLY fast and one half of his side seems dead, the left gill and fin are not moving, the gill isnt breathing and the fin is just stuck on his body (not always, but mostly). I'm not exactly sure what diseases those discus have, help with what disease they have and cures would be great.
This is my first time my discus have been sick and the first time i've ever treated them so my experience with discus diseases is very little :cry:
