we recently acquired four discus and the person wasnt keeping the water clean like he should have and now the discus have a cloudiness over the eyes and are have taken on a dark color any advice would be appreciated we have them in a sick tank with a heater and have added aquarium salt

I read salt has little effect on discus best to bring your temp up to like 88 (slowly) and do extra water changes I wouldn't do really big ones maybe daily smaller changes like 25% or so if they don't eat don't feed them the food will only poison the water good luck I've had a couple get sick before and got them to pull through so there is hope!
thank you for the advise sounds good and am glad you saved yours mine have gotten darker and not want to eat one passed away hope we can save the other two.

Honestly I would just keep the heat up the water clean keep them as stress free as possible maybe pray a little and hope for the best. Keep us updated. Discus are hardier then people think but it's always the first couple of weeks that are sketchy. Out of curiosity what is your waters ph/ammonia/nitrite/nitrate levels at?
