Who Gives A Fish Forums

Re: Lone Discus

Treating with metro is a good call, even if there aren't any visible symptoms. It's a gentle med, so it won't harm the fish. When we're dealing with a new fish, we usually consider a few other things too. There are meds for external parasites and worms, but those need to be handled with care - don't want to overdo it. A picture would really help us get a better idea of what's going on with your discus.

Re: Lone Discus

Try resizing the image to under 2MB. You could also change your camera settings to a lower megapixel. Another option is to email the image to yourself, it should auto-resize and then you can upload it to the site.

Re: Lone Discus

I finally got a picture of my discus to upload. I'm still keeping the lights off to minimize stress, so it's not the best quality.

Re: Lone Discus

I've noticed my discus hasn't been eating much. He'll swim up to the food, but doesn't take a bite. I'm currently feeding him Cobalt Discus Hans flakes, but I also have Vibra bites and a few other options on hand. Should I try something different? Maybe mix it up a bit?
