very sick discus

i dont what happened, i look at all my tanks when i get home from work every day. the discus tank looked good, there always greeting me, but 2 were missing, one was under a huge plant sword and the other was pointing up in a corner.
i changed 50% water and one is fine, the other is laying down on its side! all i can do is use quick cure. this sux

General cure! Best thing for most any internal discus issues!

yeap general cure really helps

ya, its my oldest discus too.
he's still layin there, ill change water tomorrow . 100% in the morning and add more QC, i hope wally world had more QC.

yea I buy like 4 bottles at a time when they have it

How old is he? At about 15-20 they start withering away....

only like 6 years old, hes passed last night. i put the kids to bed and checked the tank and he wasn't beathing. im still reating the tank, just in case. im going to treat for 5 days with daily wc

Very sorry to hear Alan.

Boy it's hard when you lose them when you've had them for so long. Just remember it's not always our fault fish die. I know he had great care while he was alive.

gee, i really wish i caught it sooner. im sure i could of saved him. now i have 8 discus.
im thinking the stress in the tank got to him

thanks all

It happens sometimes.....

My discus med regiment that a local breeder taught me is use quick cure for external issues and general cure for internal issues. Seems to get most all of the discus bugs.

Good to know Fern.

I also use Epsom salt, on of my discus is a bad over eater...

Now my angel fish kicked the bucket! WTF!

Cut back on the water changes and treat them with general cure. I'm assuming its an internal issue?

i guess fern, they show no sighns at all. they are all fat n healthy and happy always swimming up to the glass when i approach the tank and all eat.

but i dont have any general cure fern

Its 250mg metronidazole and 75mg praziquantel per packet. one pack treats 10g repeat dose after 48hrs wait another 48 do a 25% water change and add carbon.
its made by API.
You should try to get some or at least hit them with metro if you have that. If I know my fish have an issue and I cant see anything wrong the general cure usually clears it up. The quick cure I use for the external issues I can see. Meth blue for any fungus..... So far that treatment regiment has worked well for me.

i have metro,, the guy who sold me my discus gave me it, probably cause i spent my paycheck in his store! he told me to thaw some BW and sprikle the metro on it and refreeze. if you know discus, they love blood worms.

I always just tossed it in the tank at work, never worried about trying to get it in them, it does work better if they eat it though.
Hit them with the metro for sure!

now i have to go buy some BW. im allergic to them.

Brine works too!
