Yay!

after all my issues of the past, finally finally, have them all eating! though I have one stunted after it's long hunger strike & QT. The one or two others that had been not eating are doing fine now, bodies are fuller. The rest have been always eating, some growing very nicely, some just ok, some may be stunted (at least one will be).

latest issue is some kind of tail fin deterioration. so treating that for now.

at least got them all to eat. flakes are well accepted (blended my left over tetramin with 2 diff. ken's flakes), bought on sale from Dr.F's frozen brine, bloodworms & beefheart packs. so far so good!

thks all for those who helped me thru my ordeal these past few months!

Congratulations! :bday:

I had just 1 discus on a hunger strike and I was really worried, so I can just imagine how worried you were. I'm glad they are all doing better now! Keep up the good work.

waiting for pics from dead camera.

now they are all eating voraciously! feeding more frequently frozen brine, bloodworms & beefheart, alternating days. feed flakes to get them started!

talk about training. mine stay only where I deposit the food, the right side front. only swim around chases when food floats around the tank or when they rest!

and now I see some nice growth in quite a few of these juvies!

That's great Ray! Those strong meds can really knock the stuffing out of the discus and they need time to get back on their fins again!
