dying discus

[tlindsey]

If it was me I wouldn't put any other species of fish with Discus.

after all this madness no fish will enter my tanks without 30 days quarantine at least.

Yes I would quarantine them longer than that. Young Discus are very fragile imo.
BTW you are doing a great job with the water parameters.

im starting to think the same way. if i can get the ones back to health i will get them in there own tank by themselves. i dont have faith tho. if the pimafix don’t work, i don’t know what to do.

Hopefully you don't lose them all but don't give up.

Your water quality looks great, so I agree with tlindsey.
I usually QT for 3 months before adding new fish to the main tank, even with less sensitive species.
I find it often take that long for anomalies to show up.

i will post daily update photos. i do not like using meds. the pimafix said 7 day treatment

day 2 with pimafix and things are looking better. I think they need each other for moral support.

Great update

Ph would be too high for my liking if they were wild caught fish. For more local fish should be ok though. Is it similar to store? How soft is the water?

 

[Onyx4476]

i dont know the conditions of the store water or if they are wild caught or not. i got them from different places. general hardness is 180 and kh is less than 40.
