MY DISCUS IS SICK PLEASE HELP!!! URGENT

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm not being mean, it is just that discus are not the easiest fish to keep. If you keep all those other fish surely you know this. You must have a test kit until you have mastered your water. If you do not know your P.H. Right now there is a problem 100% And it is in fact URGENT as your thread title suggest.....
 
ohh ok... what do I do? its 1:15am here in LA? and i don't know any petshop here that is open this late hehehe... I'm just looking for any thing that I can do for a meanwhile? like temporary remedy? yea... I kno ur just being helpful i'm just really worried coz' I want discus so bad... thats why i took my chances of taking care of one
 
Go to walmart they have test kits. While you are there, get some chems. Prime, p.h up and down, and maybe some melafix.......Do the tests and then I (we all) will help you from there......hurry!
 
hey u know what? I just checked him rightnow! and he turn back to his normal color???? and he looks fine her fin are up know and chasing me on the glass for food.... but he still have those cloudy appearance in the flippers!!!
 
Hmmm..Pictures? Still, we need test results. Use API liquid test kit for best results. No need to use pH adjusting chemicals.

What is his P.H. Is 8? Still no need to lower it?
 
is it when you walk in the room, most fish when theyre frightened will turn dark. My discus do that until they warm up to me.
idk about the slime though, did you touch them?
