Hey Guys.
I know a pic would help and i will try to organise one soon. I have a male discus pearl snakeskin about 12cm who is paired with female and they have sucessfully bred for me twice. Over the last few months the male has been a bit quieter than usual. He eats well still, but doesnt seem to gain weight. At night his abdomen area seems to glow white in an area about the size of 2 x 5c pieces next to each other. His poo is normal (not white or jelly). His top fin is a bit fraid and his fins are down. He has been like this a few weeks and doesnt seem to be getting any worse or better. As i said he eats well and comes to teh glass to eat when he sees me. I have recently done a bigl and prazi treatment. Amonia and nitrite = 0, Nitrate around 20, temp 29degC, bare bottom 90L tank, Sponge filter. I have just put in some para-ex tablets to see if that helps.
Any suggestions/ideas ?
Cheers
Kevin.
