Aquarium Advice Addict
Hi Guys
My fiancee fed my discus today, and they all ate heartily.
9:00PM tonight, and he's barely able to swim, not upright and VERY lathargic. Also not eating, and Almost totally black.
I set up my inadequate 5Gallon Quarintine, and took my tiny little filter I always run for emergencies on my main tank and put it in the QT tank with a 100 watt heater. its 84*f.
I ran a bubbler into the filter outlet as well for airation.
Specs: Native PH: 8.3
PH (because of Co2): 7.6
Temp - 85
Nitrates - 5-10ppm
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
KH - 8 Degrees
Currently done:
5 gallon QT tank, Filter, Bubbler, heater. Set to 84 degrees.
Dosed with prazipro.
Also, maybe stupidly, Dosed with API Fungus Cure.
Should I take any next steps?
Also, Some background on this fish: I got both of my royal aqua's at the same time. One flourished and is amazing. This one seemed to have trouble growing. 3-4 months ago, I noticed stringy poop for the first time so I dosed Prazipro and the stringy poop went away.
he is a bit smaller than the others, and gets more than his fair share of picking on.
I have also added CO2 in the last week, wondering if that could be it. I've sinced knocked it down to 1 bubble per second, just in case. In the QT tank there's lots of airation and no CO2.
