Well, I think one of my discus is infect with intestinal parasites. He has white, mucoid feces, secludes himself, is very dark, his belly's slightly swollen, and now he is being difficult to feed. I don't know how exactly he got it, but he has something non-the-less. He's in a planted tank with 3 other discus (all between 2-3.5''), glowlights, cories, an apisto, 4 otos and a honey gourami.
Temp stays as a steady 86F
0 ammonia
0nitrite
7.4 pH
I do daily 16% waterchanges except on saturdays when I do 40%. All other fish seem okay, although the apisto may be showing similiar symptoms (it's hard to tell because his territory is under a piece of driftwood). The other discus *may* also be infected but their only symptom is white- stringy feces and that's only sometimes.
If there are any home remedies that I can try, they would be best.
Thanks in advance.
