skinny disease

[Lupin]

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

Not unless the tank is heavily planted.

Skinny disease? More like internal parasites.

Same thing. Treat everyone with flubendazole or levamisole hydrochloride to prevent possible transmission of internal parasites.

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

With plants and anaerobic bacteria it is.... I have one. Its been up for 3 years.

If the discus is still eating, I recommend Gel Tek Ultra Cure PX I believe its called. We have had very good success with it when we add it to blood worms, soak it for at least ten minutes and the feed it. Or, we will make batches and freeze it. We feed it twice a day for ten days, and have found it to be our best bet. GL, Jen. (See my Husband's posts SoCalDiscus)
