hi i have abt 16 AA and 10 Discuss in my tank and currently 3 discuss have white poos and not eating.. shall i deworm the whole tank completely or separate the 3 sick ones. all my AAs are ok and eating well.

I suggest you seperate all the 10pcs discus into another tank and deworm them all at once. Use bare tank with a heater at 30 degree.. Medication is use seperately too.. Just my 2 cents..

Hi, you may want to try using MQ-5. It works for my angels and discus. Increasing the temperature will be much better but subjective what is inside your tank and also not sure if AA is able to withstand higher temp.

Just to share and wish them a speedy recovery.

Why not dose your feed with medication and feed orally?

Bro, this wouldn't work for u since those affected are not eating...

If I were u, i'll treat the whole tank... It's up to u if u wanna dose both Metro & Prazi together, I usually dose separately, but if conditions are bad, pls dose both together..

All the best!

That's my gut instinct as well

Think will just action! Thanks!

My suggestion is that prazi is the last option. if one day your discus builds up resistance for prazi then no other medication can help already.

I use to blend garlic and beefheart together to deworm my fishes with heater and there is no harm to treat the whole tank.
Just my opinion.
