After laying eggs...discus got sick Options

[kaizen18]

Hi bros

My confirm pair produced some eggs over the weekend...but the eggs got eaten up monday evening...

today i saw the female discus has a slight clamp fin n one eye a little cloudy..n some white patches on body..

i put a divider between the male and female as i tink the white patches could come from fighting/being bitten by male


I put in salt - 4 teaspoons and Seachem's paraguard. Is this enough?

Tank= 2 ft

Bare botton with sponge filter( with active carbon)

WC - once every 2 days. (20%)

Food: BW/ Tetra Bits...

I'm new to discus and have been keeping some for 3 mths and last week my whole tank of discus have the same disease as yours. Bro terence teached me to use pp and keep temp at 30 to 32 and well.... they all recovered in 2 days.

the fishes are feeding..just a bit ...n i did a water change (20%) today morning. Took out the active carbon b4 adding melafix...

I have never seen any improvement with Melafix/primafix and from my knowledge of other users, they also report the same. I think you need to be looking at larger water changes right now. Cloudy eyes can stem from bad water conditions, bacteria, so up the water volume changes for now. No med needed yet.
And, just because there is a med for each pronblem 'we think' we are seeing, does not mean we should dump in medication right away. For me, good water is the best medication our fish need.

agreed. Change water in larger quantities and put in quality water condition/antichlorine

But how sure are you about the quality of our local waters?? Blur eye is a secondary infection, try adding 1.5 soup spoon of salt (high high like a mountain) and jap yellow powder. That should go away in about 4days or maybe faster.

thanks terrence

I did that last nite. added jap yellow powder plus salt . hope when i get back..the fish will be ok

last nite , they were still feeding heartily on brine shrimps despite having one clamped fins..

If they are eating well then should be ok soon.
