Hi guies,

was wondering if you guies know what disease my fish have.

my white discus starting turning pink around the cheeks area. the pinkness slowly travelled to the body. especially around the spine area.
its eating like normal, eyes are dark.
PH: 7
28 degrees
Nitrite: 0
Amonia: 0

4 foot wide, 2 foot tall, 1.5 foot wide.

What are you feeding them? Some foods that contain high levels of carotin will turn discus a peachy - red colour.

Does the pinkness look like this at all?

I'm sure your fish are fine. This is most likely nothing sinister at all and simply the the fish taking on a bit of the colour of the food you feed them, but watch out for red spreading to their rays, as is in the next photo.

It's similar, but not as red, and the eyes are black.

I feed it beef heart and sera granules. Sometimes i feed it dried blood worms.

I'm feeding it more beef heart and dried blood worms now.
Hope it'd be better soon~

Thanks guies!!

i think i know why they are turning red now..
i partitioned my tank so that my parents can put their red parrots in there while their tank is cycling..
think they've been feeding their fish some colour food (don't know what they are called)... and the food must of floated to my side....
