Due to PH problems I've been having (very unstable) my two smaller discus have become very ill, and stopped eating. I first thought it was because they were being bullied by, and not getting food, because of the large discus, but upon moving them to their own tank I could see they were very ill, with, I’m almost 100% hole in the head. I've been treating the whole tank with esha hexamita for 4/5 days, it seems to have cleared, but they are still not eating at all, or maybe only a few scraps when I’m not looking.
I've been trying to feed them bloodworm, beef heart, discus mix, tetra colour pro, tetra prime, but they are not interested in any of it. I even try to target feed them with bloodworms, but right in front of their face, they are not interested. They are clearly very very thin.
I'm wondering what to do next really, I've run out of esha hexamita, will get some more at the weekend.
I'm thinking: UV back on, Large water change, Carbon back in.
But what can I do. Should I try some live food (I'm not sure they would go for this), force feeding etc
What do you think? (rbishop?)
BTW Its also worth mentioning, I wormed them about....4 weeks ago.
Many Thanks
Nick
