Hi everyone I bought 6 discus from lfs and they are in QT right now, for safety I'm treating them API General Cure and one of them released some long white feces I suspect that they are tapeworms. Can someone take a look just to sure about it please? Thanks in advance. -B

I read online they say that Nematodes are the most common one which i guess the ones in my tank having a fiesta right now. On the other side, Planaria "feed on dead and/or rotting flesh, as well as excess fish food left in the substrate. They also EAT EGGS AND FRY."

Thanks!

I feed twice a day and just one pinch every time. I guess that is the cause. After doing the WC this morning seems like they are all gone. (probably on the sand or the filter took them out). If they do no harm then that is fine. :)

Im doing a 70% wc and bunch of these little guys (about millions of them) are flying around....

Hi guys i found my discus with a white line this morning when i was feeding him. He was eating just fine but I don't know if it is a disease or parasite please help!

The meat was hard as if i cooked it with boiling water lol. Strange :/ i guess i will move the ghosties to my planted tank with the betta.

For about a month now. (i added small dose of API Tetracycline med for the discus but i dont think that kills them)

I came home and found two of my ghost shrimp dead, looks like they got cooked. The water temp is 30C and my discus seems just fine. Is it the heater cook the shrimps or something else?

I don't know because they dont sell kh gh test kit here... I think the water is kind of hard because they say if you mix water with little bit of soap and the bubble is low then the water is hard. I have been doing 40% WC everyday to keep the tank as clean as possible. Will i harm the fish...

I am currently using tap water and treat with tetra safe plus. Since the water has ph 7.5 i use Seachem discus buffer to lower the ph. The Blackwater extra (tetra brand) is a chem that contains substances that help angelfish, discus, tetras, accommodate better the environment.

Yes i use liquid test from api and all seems fine.

Im sorry but what is pwc?

Hi everyone, My new discus started eating yesterday since i introduced him a week ago but today he stopped eating again. One thing i noticed him is his color changed from dark to white. Is this normal? I added Blackwater extract and kept ph 6.8 to try to mke him happy and start to eat again...

Yeah, must be the betta. Thanks! Problem solved!
