Discus Medication - Internal Parasites
Discus 7 years ago 27,772 views
Some of my discus are showing signs of internal parasites or infection. In this video I went ahead and treated with API General Cure for internal parasites. I treat the entire tank (240G and 75G) to make sure all inhabitants are medicated. Medication Used: API General Cure for internal parasites: http://amzn.to/2r7OCZ7 Epsom Salt (laxative): http://amzn.to/2r7PDQU Other Medication: Maracyn-2 Antibiotic for internal bacterial infections: http://amzn.to/2qb0xQV
Any help would be appreciated....Thamks

Currently I have a blue diamond in hospital tank that pooped a huge pea size greyish black ball that broke apart after into what looks like tiny snail shells? is it possible to have snails as a internal parasite?

Does it affect bio filter?
We wont be able to see intestinal parasites with a microscope :)

i wanted to finally get some discus since i am wishing for some for 10+ years
but those holes are frightening me the shyt out...
I'm on my 5th day with Maracyn-2 and so far, I haven't had any ammonia spikes. I think the plants definitely helped absorb any added ammonia.
Thanks!
The cardinals were quarantined for a few weeks, but I did not deworm them (my mistake there). I happens to the best of us even when we are careful. We just have to be prepared with meds readily available. Thanks!
I can also transfer the fish out to a quarantine tank, but that can also stress the discus out and there is more chance of an ammonia spike there with the antibiotic as the smaller water volume.
see you late
