Yes his stomach doesn't look too bad, have you tried feeding with the lights out?View attachment 1300503 View attachment 1300504 View attachment 1300505 View attachment 1300506
Here are some pictures from tonight. Still got a little bit of gearth in its stomach from last night. I didn’t see it eat tonight but if it can grab something every other night, then I think it will be a good step in the right direction.
Can they see very well in the dark? I was under the impression that they need to see their food.Yes his stomach doesn't look too bad, have you tried feeding with the lights out?
Thanks for the link! One thing that they point out in that thread is the size of the fish. Of course, even as juvies these bass are much bigger than many of the fish available in the trade. They also discuss treating for longer periods. I will probably start another round and order some more General Cure off of Amazon and try to continue continue the treatment for at least ten days. I might also try to get Praziquantel and possibly keep dosing it for an additional ten days. Hopefully, this will help the little one get past whatever it is having trouble with.Here’s a link. Most of them are consistent with each other on simply discus.

Those discus guys know a lot about treating internal parasites. I used this method for all my wilds when I first got them. Remember to turn up your aeration when dosing.
I read that fish can see up to 50%(iirc) better than us in the wild in murky water. If they can hunt and feed in the Rio negro, and other tannin filled bodies of water they can see in a dark fishtank. Plus if you have the tank lights out the ambient light in the room should be enough.Can they see very well in the dark? I was under the impression that they need to see their food.
