Fungus growing on discus

[axl]

Hi,
i purchased a red cover discus from Melbourne last saturday and he is in quartine at the moment. Over the last 2 to 3 days white fungus has grown on parts of his body and this morning i have noticed a spot on his eye. I treated the tank with multi cure as thats the only product i can get in my town and added some salt. I have ordered some protozin and will arrive on Tuesday. Any suggestions on what has caused this or what to do????

Cheers Axl

change in water conditions causes stress to the fish, once stressed, immunity drops and infection gets in, if it is fungus protozin at 2x the bottle dose for 3-4 days works very well, adding salt at 1tsp/20L during tratment also helps.

try and maintain super good water quality and bump your temp up to 30C, this will give the immune system a chance to get ontop of the infection.
