Default Unstable lss ?

Why is my discus this unstable ?
It's eating we'll when I feed pellets or FBw..
Abit stable when comes to feeding time.. But otherwise it will return to the unstable state.


The other 2 lss in the tank all v stable..


Thinking of buying eiho parzi gold.
But I wanna make sure what's the cause before anyhow adding med..
Should I solely treat him or just treat the whole tank?

Any advice / help would be appreciated.
Thank u all in advance

It is very very sick. See the fins all clamp up and head sunken in, eyes so big. Guess not eating or appetite no good? Hope treatment is not too late.

Its not a LSS.

Seems like it has been sometime. Discus should not turn into this state overnight.

The rest of the fishes eating well?

Should be Leopard. However not very clear on the patterns on you sick fish. if its lines its turq, spotted then Leopard.

I would change water add some salt and observe. However its more complicated than on a bare tank.

If is eating, do feed more high protein food to pump it up. Try don't mix with other fishes to avoid stressing it.

Once had a fish like this. Become very black and full of slimes. Best is to separate this discus from others.
