Sorry to hear of Swick's loss. Sounds like I may have similar ills but no other symptoms.
72gal BF 15 juvie discus (who btw are not sparring or chasing other around as much as last week!)
API master test kit
pH=6.6 (consistent since 7/15)
AM/NI=0 (last wk AM was .125)
NA=.25 (since 9/9 when it was last zero, between the 2 color scales)
temps = 85
80% w/c yesterday
So I have one that is so skinny cuz he's been on a hunger strike for a week now. Sluggish stays in corners also. If I place my hand there it will swim to other side. I'm afraid it will be near it's demise.
The other swims around albeit also sluggish but has been pecking at driftwood & sometimes sponge filter but lets the flakes go by & has ignored frozen brine & bloodworms. It does swim to the top like it was going to eat but fakes me out.
No physical signs of stress/disease/Ich/tail rot at all. No white pooping/actually I haven't caught either pooping.
I thought finally I reached a level of equilibrium after my bouts with Ich & I think I had a parasite in there along with fungus on my plecos & tail rot on my one angel & my albino corys. But there are only discus in the tank for now about 3wks.
So, hope someone has a clue or suggest what I can do - no meds yet right?
thx all.
