External Parasites And Discus Fish

  • One problem that we always have with discus is that we start seeing the body slime start to build up. That is usually caused by external bacteria building up in the system. External bacteria are going to build up in a system, whether we want to or not. Obviously, the more water changes that we do, the more maintenance that we do, the lower we can keep that bacterial count.
    Eventually, it starts to build up when people move gravel around, things around, the next thing you know, the discus start to slime up, they start to pinch their fins, the eyes start to get cloudy. When you see that happen, that is usually a sign of external problems.

      I agree Gabe. Right now there is something going on in my angel fish tank. One didn’t eat for over a week and died 2 days ago. Another is showing the same symptoms. Hiding and not eating. I called my local fish store and they do nothing. I couldn’t believe my ears. I am presently treating my tank with general cure. If I do not see a improvement it will be time to something else but don’t know what. Any thoughts?

    Lernex pro contains, among other things, the active substance in resistance: Praziquantel & Nitroscanate.

    Hey there, you mentioned paraguard & I just received 7 discus about a week ago & they are slimming up and flashing a bit . I did a dose when I received the fish but the direction are very vague. You say use for 3 days then do a water change but the direction say keep using till problem goes away (usually a week to 2 weeks ) . Of course I know things are a little different for discus so just to confirm do the suggested amount for 3 days only (one cap full every 10 gallons) and add 1 tbs of salt per 40 gallons ? Your help is greatly appreciated
