my blue diamond is still active and eating, colors look so dark. Tail is a dark blue. Body is a bit grey dark blue. Eyes were always yellow, now its black. I treated it 4 internal parasites, seems to do nothing. Everything looks fine except 4 its dark color and its stomach sucking in. I see it eatin. Is it a bacteria?
 
What are your water parameters? Tank size and tankmates? Foods used? Pics?

I have seen this skinny diesease before. One of my Discus kept eating and eating but he kept getting thinner and thinner till he died. I don't know what caused it though.

0 for everything? No nitrates at all? That's usually not good.


Is your tank cycled? Like mrsquad asked, what do you do for water changes?

It's not possible to have zero nitrates in a cycled tank with fish in it.:grinno:

Skinny disease? More like internal parasites.
