Who Gives A Fish Forums

My money's on water quality, even if tests look okay. Discus are drama queens about tiny changes. When's the last time you deep cleaned the substrate? Gunk builds up fast in sand.

If you're using Prazipro, remember it's light-sensitive. Dose after lights out or cover the tank for a few hours. I've found that reduces stress. Also, avoid carbon in your filter during treatment, it'll remove the meds.


oh dang, didn't know about the light thing. good tip. i'll pull the carbon ...

i tried salt once, but my discus freaked out. maybe i added too much? prazipro sounds safer. how often do you guys do water changes during treatment? i usually do 20% weekly but dunno if that's enough.
