Discus Fish Diseases & Treatment I have been facing a huge problem since last two weeks with my Discus fishes getting sick. Most of them were lying down on their sides & slowly started developing white patches on their skin. Some of them even started losing their slime & started to peel of their skin & some were having drastic infection on their fins. Finally, after losing couple of my wonderful adult Discus fishes & learning a lot from the net I got the remedies to treat them with the right medication. This video is about that & hope this will help you guys too if you are facing any problems with your Discus. SUBSCRIBE . LIKE . COMMENT For more videos like this https://youtu.be/8wZ8sbfwL_I

Hey neo great video my discus fish has the same problem place help me out

iitz AllBoa - 7 years ago

I have the same problem !
I lost 3 discus already. Now the skin looks a bit dry and have some white lines/scrapes on the skin. I was recommended metro+ to dust the blood worms in it and feed. Not sure if it's going to work or not but doing big water changes everyday too now.

iitz AllBoa - 7 years ago

Murphylolz so ever since I started to medicate my tank with metro+ my discus have been bouncing back to good health. I did the tank treatment for 5days with daily 50% water changes, now I only medicate the food every feeding until I see no more sign of (clamp Fin, stress, staying in one spot, not shoaling). So now the 2 discus that were the most sick are swimming and eating again. So I have to say metro+ worked great.

does bogwood, anubius nana and ceramic ring higher the ph level, ammonia, nitrate and nitrite?? plz help me. my fish are also sits like in side way. seems like they are sick.

Dj Neo - 7 years ago

For Discus fish I don't keep any gravel. The only plant I have is also anubias with bogwood. That's it. It makes the water and aquarium easy to clean. Gravels produce more dirt and causes your ph, nitrite & nitrate levels to rise high. I would recommend you to clear the gravels...

+Dj Neo (Nihar Mohamed) now i got it sir. i do water changes every 5days

Dj Neo - 7 years ago

If you have only one or two fishes who are sick then you should keep them in another tank and change their water 50% every day...

Dj Neo - 7 years ago

what is the consistency you are keeping for your water changes? do you change the water every week or every 2 days?
What I meant was, if you are changing the water every 2 days then you should keep that consistency. Do not change the water one day after 3 days or 4 days. This makes the fish stress...

+Dj Neo (Nihar Mohamed) and sir not all fishes are sick since 1 week. should i keep those sick fish to another tank????

A Fitness - 7 years ago

+Dj Neo (Nihar Mohamed) sir i did not get u. u said do not keep chaning the duaration of water changes.

Dj Neo - 7 years ago

Dear Amit, If your Discus fishes are sitting cornered then you should take utmost care. First & foremost take out all the gravel, bogwood or plants whatever you have in it. Secondly, please do a 50% water change every day. Keep a watch on them how they are reacting. Clean the glass corner to corner as any parasites can always hook onto any place in the aquarium. Do not use multiple sponges or cleaning material. If you are using one for one aquarium, do not use it for another aquarium. Try aquarium salt depending on the size of your aquarium.
Hope they get better soon. Please do keep updating. I will do my best to help you with the recovery.
The best way to keep your fish healthy is the consistency in your water change. Consistency means - If you change water every day, then you have to be consistent on that. If you change aquarium water every 3 days then you have to be consistent on that. Do not keep changing the duration of water changes. This stresses the fish to get sick easily...
