26-10-2007 17:22 by mort1968	could anyone tell me what is wrong with my discus i have six juvinile discus that have been feeding well suddenly 3 have deceided to stop eating/or eat just enough to survive, they have gone very skinny and hide at the back corner of the tank. i have noticed that 1 of them excreates white and clear droppings. what is it and how do i cure it thanks
26-10-2007 17:49 by mwilde	have you wormed them? White plop USUALLY means internal parasites like worms. Discus need worming regularly.
26-10-2007 23:48 by kevyb	like the rest id say definatly worms try worming them with flubenol but be quick as its going off sale soon or normal worming tablets for cats and dogs and crush half up in some tank water and bath them in it for 10 min in spare tank
27-10-2007 01:49 by robert.pope	mort i have had the same with one of my Discus get some eSHa Hexamita and try there is a chance of it being worm however i wormed mine and it had no effect. If your water conditions are not right this could cause them to go off their food.check for Nitrates! are the other 3 fine?
27-10-2007 10:49 by mwilde	Why is flubenol going off sale.
27-10-2007 12:10 by kevyb	because when the product was brought into the country it was not properly registred or something its getting sold off quite cheap in a lot of places now as its ilegal to sell it after nov the 1st try plymouth discus they are selling it cheap and free p+p
27-10-2007 14:24 by Elmo	dont underdose on the flubenol or else it wont work , use more than it says to use, and it is still safe.
27-10-2007 16:48 by big cats	jump on the worm bandwagon everyone and throw lots of medication at them, cos thats the way we keep fish these days . have you tested your water? , what is the temp in the tank ? is the temp stable? its getting cold at night does the temp dip? sudden changes can allow normally ineffectual parasites to suddenly affect fish ,have you seen worms hanging out of the fishes vents? have you changed anything else in the tank are they all affected ? (no) so dont jump to conclusions look closely at everything ,but do it fast cos they go downhill fast
28-10-2007 11:31 by robert.pope	how big are the fish ? i have read that its sometimes difficult to get fish past the 2 inch stage? bigger than 2 inches and they are more resistant! How are they doing???
28-10-2007 11:42 by mort1968	right here we go temp is 30, ph is 6 to 6.5 nitrates good. peat in filtration no signs of worms from gills or anal. housed with coridorus,clown loach and they are fine, other three discus are eating well and swim happily around tank read book about diseases (spironucleus and thread worm)treated tank with protazin acording to manufacturers instructions. discus are approx 2 inches ps thanks for trying to help
