Wilds arrived in rough shape

healthy fish will make it,, just really good tank maintenance and some salt should do.
ive had a lot of discus shipped and unfortunately this is what happens with extremely stressed fish. sometimes its the next day and sometimes its 2-3 days but if its healthy and clean water they should make it

Thanks guys. Here are some pics. Only 3 are eating right now.

Here is the one in really bad shape. Ammonia burn caused some open lesions and it's tail is all messed up.
If I mix methylene blue with the metro and prazi, will I have a problem?

I wouldn't add mb to the tank. You should use it as a dip on the worse off ones maybe. I'd seek advice from a guru.

I have nothing to add, hope they pull through, but...

Why the hell are such nice fish on the bottom rack!?

Charney gave s ok me tips and advice in the disease section. I think j have a good course of action to follow and hopefully, this guy will make it.

Usually if they come around initially, they will be ok. Well especially in your hands

A few weeks ago a buddy sent me a box of discus. He accidentally put two of them in the same bag (said "that's why I had an extra bag!" When I told him, lol). One of the two lost almost all the fins and was practically dead. It was horizontal for a few days, but now I can't even tell which one it is in the group. Clean water, lower temperature and keep an eye on infections.
