Hi
I keep 3 discus (2blue T's one red T) in a 3' tank with a few tetras. The fish are around 2.5 years old and one of them has gone off his food. When I first noticed it I left him in the tank for a about ten days and he became quite dark. I have since removed him into a hospital tank (large plastic box with sponge filter) bumped the temp to 31c and started treatment with meds. I have used jungle internal parasite guard which is a mixture of salt, metro and prazi. I have used 3 doses as per instructions but my fish still doesn't eat. His color has returned to normal though.
I'm a little lost as to what I should do next. Should I return him to his tanakmates to see if he fares better with company.
please help I don't want to lose this fish
feed- tetra bits and frozen brine shrimp
ph6.2
no nitrite or ammonia
nitrates 10
temp usually 28 in planted, bumped up in hospital tank
