Andrie,

How long has it been without food... roughly?

[DR.V]

Does it goes really really skinny ??

Maybe it wants to become a model (ok haha)

Seriously tho, how long without eating ? And do you mean not eating at all? as in like anything ?

I had the same problem once....the discus died after a month :(
The told me to raise temp. up to 33 degrees celsius (they easely can handle even 35) but when you raise temp the metobolisme will get more active and that might be the trigger to start eatin
Try alive food, they seem to like that better

Good luck, keep us informed

thanks for all your reply guys ... but he died not long after i posted my msg ... he died because of hex .... refused to eat, become skinny, white poo and colour turned dark ....

but still treating the other one with metro coz he's showin' bit of the symps ... so better treat it first before anything worse happen ...

Sorry to hear about your loss. Hope the other one recovers well.
