My 1st discus died about 5 1/2 weeks ago suddenly. He did have a reddish area underneath his fins. 2 weeks ago another dies. He became very shy, starting hiding and didn't eat for a week prior. Today my favorite discus died. The last couple days he also became shy, hid and didn't eat much. But neither had any outward signs of disease. I quarantined both and treated with Pimafix and Melafix. Didn't save them.
I do have an algae problem (mostly just on plants). I change the water 6 times a week. Been using a multi vitamin the past 4 weeks and put in an air pump a month ago. 2 weeks ago I started using Keta-Peat Nuggets as well. I don't get why they're dieing! Any advice? Should I use a UV sterilizer?
