I have a 75 gallon set up currently housing 4 discus.
2 gbr
10rummynose
5 sterbai cories
1 bristlenose pleco.
Everything was fine until I got my smallest cobalt blue. A few days after I got him he started acting lethargic and sort of had a loss of appetite. Then my orange one started doing the same thing. Now all of them are doing it except for my leopard turquoise. Today I watch my orange one have a bowel movement and it was almost like a slime coming oit and eventually a soft looking clump came out. They have been floating at the top. Almost as if they were gasping for air and they will lay on their sides near the bottom of the tank. They also all seem to not use one of their pectoral fins. But they shake it virgoursely once in awhile. Almost like they are twitching. They will also scratch on the same side.
All my other fish are fine including my leopard turquoise discus. I raises the temp up and put salt in the just incase it is ich.
