I don't really see any issue with the fish in particulars eyes but the head issue however could probably be an external parasite. If the flesh on the fishes head is slowly rotting away, and if it wasn't caused by injury. Then there is most likely some sort of parasite eating away at its flesh...

Was the heater at the right temp for the fish? Temperature shock could easily kill a fish in an hour. Or the heater could be malfunctioning and releasing toxins into the tank. Or the filter could be doing the same thing. Malfunctioning and releasing something into the tank. It does kind of...

Also these are not wild caught discus. They are pigeon and red panda strains. It's a long story why they were imported from Asia but basically Asia tends to have nicer high quality fish. Most of the discus where I'm from are not very attractive and are poorly kept making them either stunted or...

I think they had some sort of fluke because I dosed in some prazi 3 days ago and they have all been breathing normal through all gills. I still have a minimum of two treatments left to go for treating with prazi anyway so hopefully it will get rid of most if not all parasites they may have...

I keep getting discus fish and everytime they are in my tank within 1 week they start breathing fast through 1 gill. Anyway this is the third time I have kept discus and once again three of the four fish are breathing through one gill fast and it's only the 5th day of having them. They are in...

Hey everyone, I've posted on here quite a bit in the past about small problems I had been having with the discus I was keeping at those times. A lot has changed since then and I think I have things a little more controlled now. I just wanted to create my own topic about Discus fish that allows...

Hey again! I don't even know if anyone uses this but would be cool to see an update ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks for the advice though! Feel free to leave more. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

The pearls past away today. I think it was for the better anyway. I am not restarting again because of gill flukes. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yeah only it's not up to me. It's up to my parents. They usually don't want to travel far just for a fish or so. Although I would go every weekend haha. I'm only 15, don't have my license yet Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yeah I know. There are two others and one is very caring about there aquatic life and I have actually never had a problem with them. But the better store is in a different city about 2 1/2 hours away so I can only rarely go there. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Just also wondering.. Can you keep a Siamese fighter in a 100+ gallon planted aquarium? Not with the pearls of course. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Okay I'll have to start looking into that. I have a spare 15 gallon that is bare bottom and have sponge filters and spare hang on back filters etc that I can use. Do I have to do this with every fish? I don't want to get a group of schooling fish and then have to leave them in the small tank...

(Skip to bottom to get to questions if you want lol) I'm starting to think my tank is cursed with gill flukes or something and I'm starting to get really sick of it. A couple months back I had started off with some new discus and they had gill flukes or something and it got out of hand...

So.. This has been an ongoing problem since the introduction of my discus. I have had them for over a month now and i am still having a gill problem. I have tried so many things like quarantining, treatment, daily 50-80% wc to get rid of it but no. The same symptoms remain. Clamping one of their...

I love that top left discus! Is it a ring leopard discus? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Did you run an air stone whilst doing it? Because that really helps with treating fish :) i just don't want to give up and i want to defeat whatever is bothering them because as much as it's stressful for the fish, it's stressing me out to! I just want them to be okay and it really kills me that...

Hey again everyone!! I have an idea on what i can do! I was thinking that i move all of the discus into the QT again and do a good treatment of prazi in that tank. Then, in the DT i do a 100% water change and remove all the plants and driftwood etc and do a massive clean and do that for about a...

Yeah! That is something i have definitely noticed about discus. Unfortunately these fish are prone to the more difficult diseases to deal with like parasites internally and externally. Something i have noticed that causes alot of problems is the fish being stressed. Stress on discus really...

So i just did another i would say 65% water change and i took out the driftwood. I thought it might help with the pH and if it had any flukes or fluke eggs on hanging on the wood than i would have reduced the fluke population a bit :) at the moment i am willing to try anything! Sent from my...

Hi again, So since the 2nd of jan, i moved my discus back to the DT because the QT began to get high ammonia and nitrite.One of the four discus is still doing pretty good. Breathing fine, using gills fine, he eats everything i give him, flakes, pellets, frozen bloodworm and brine shrimp. The...

The top one could actually just be a red and white discus to be honest?! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

They both look like some sort of marlboro or melon but thats only me because they are probably something totally off of what i said hahaha. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Im honestly not sure? It looks kind of like a small rose red but it's got ticking on it's anal and dorsal fins that to me look like leopard or pigeon blood markings. I am probably really wrong so yeah. I'm not sure? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I really love your fish! If you get sand would you put live plants in the aquarium? The fish would look amazing in a planted aquarium :) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
