Looks Like My Oldest Discus Is Passing Away. Photo And Video..

Vin Swords · Nov 9, 2011

Well bit sad times.. My 3 year old blue discus is not well.. He is down on the floor and has bit of mucus in left gills.. And left side fin are closed with bit red on the base.. He is been like this for last two weeks.. Stopped eating now as well.

I dosed the whole tank with wormer+ But it don't look good..

He was the biggest bully in the tank.. And he is a fully grown fish in to perfect shape. I had him since he was a baby.....

If there's no way back......might be best to put him out of his misery?

Good news..

High dose of wormer+ high temp... and good water changes made the fish get better.. It's looks ok and swims around.. 4 5 days ago he was in the floor with one side fills fully closed with mucus in it.. Now he is breathing by both sides and swimming..

Not eating yet though.. But he is a fat fish.. And still he is a fat head.. Fins are fully erected and black tan is gone..
