The basics:
55 gallon tank
Bamboo, some fake coral decorations, gravel, a bubble wand and two bubble decorations.
PH 7.0
Ammonia <.2 ppm
Temperature 80 degrees
Tank mates: 3 angel fish, pear gourami, catfish, and bottom feeder.
I am trying to change out the water with all RO water, but I've only got about 15 gallons in there so far.
When I woke up this morning, he was on the bottom of the tank and very dark in color. I was out of town about a month ago and the person watching my fish killed most if them. I felt like I established a safe environment about a week ago, when I bought this discus. He has been doing very well up to today. There seem to be scratches on his face, he's staying at the bottom of the tank, and when he swims he looks drunk. I can't see any ich or fungus, but I have began medicating just in case. I am using Kordon's brand Rid•Ich Plus.
Any other suggestions on what he might have or what I could do?
