the (Right )photo shows a thin fish ,very pinched above the eyes!
The fish looked rough and was passing white jelly like phoo.....Not a good time in keeping discus!(why?what? ...how do i ?.....questions ?...?...questions ...??
it was sugested that i medicated and fed live brine shrimp, do large daily waterchanges ! at first he would eat only the brineshrimp that swam past his nose,then within 3 days he was out hunting every shrimp with greed!
I kept him isolated with no competition for food and he started to fill out!.........
At this point i Joined B.I.D.K.A. ( discus forum) and found all the help i could wish for
they put me intoutch with a local Discus keeper (thanks Martin!) he is exelent.he answered all my questions and even tested my water to match his!
well at christmas i was a happy Lad when the Wife gave me money to get more FISH!
I got
FIVE fish breed from a BIDKA member for the price i had payed the local shop for
ONE
In January i put all the fish back together and the original 2 now healthy paired up straight away!
I must add that over christmas i removed the gravel and Congo tetras and went B/B (bare bottomed) now using a little play sand.
