medication for sick discus

Hello to all discus fans,

I have a blue discus (left one in picture) and here are her symptoms:

• lying stationery almost 45 degrees
• can swim straight
• breathing rather quickly, gills moving fast too
• saw long string of clear poop yesterday

I have since quarantined her in a small tank with filter...

Where can I find the right medication to treat her?

Hi bro,

This piece is stunted , can't grow much already.

Anyway, it is some internal flagellate. Some "deworming " medications will do. Example are metro, cripro, prazi, mq 4 & 5 etc. coupled with temp raised to 30deg.

Hello bro,
You judge the stunted by the size of its eyes? Tks

Can use the eye size ratio as a gauge . The other piece also under growth.

Eyes is one of the points to look put for.

Got this pic from a website sometime back. cannot remember where....

Clean water is extremely important for discus, their tolerance level for poor water conditions is next to zero. Therefore, many discus hobbyists keep a bare tank with sponge filter and daily water changes from 20 per cent up to more than 90 per cent. Uneaten food is immediately scooped up.

Discus are sensitive creatures, if one can maintain a very clean environment free of bacteria, free of stress, they will show the most beautiful colours and grace. Among all fishes, I still treasure discus beauty as one of the finest!

Agree with above.
