So a bit of backstory. I bought six discus fish around 4 inchs each in size for my 75 gallon planted tank. Tank is well established with zero problems thus far. When i got home from Calgary to Lethbridge all fish were fine but one. My super red melon was laying on his side in the bag. After acclimation he laid on my repens for the first day eyes buldgy and fins were torn ( not sure why fins were torn .) A day later he was up and about and ate with the other fish as normal. A day later he would no longer eat but appears healthy.

Ammonia - 0

Nitrite - 0

Nitrate - 10 - 15

Kh - typical southern alberta tap.

temp - 84 ish

If anyone knows something i may check or try. Breathing seems labored i have good surface agitation and a airstone.

I dose excel and flourish aswell as iron. All to the bottle specs.

It appears that may have been it.

Was looking for some help identifying this white spot. Does not look like ich, not sure if it is a scar or bite or what it is. Hole in the head? Any help would be appreciated.

Any chance any of the experienced people with co2 could send a link to a few systems as i cant tell what regulator and diffuser are best, the tank seems idiot proof.

Can anyone tell me if the discus can survive in 82 Degree water i have a planted tank and would love to add a few and i think 82 is all my plants would handle.

I need to find a broken hob filter in lethbridge.

The u.s version of amazon now ships to Canada as well and i have purchased some items from there and have come out much cheaper than the Canadian version with free shipping.

Hey there,

im Scott, new to the hobby, here to learn. Currently have a 75 gallon planted tank hoping to learn some stuff here and contribute when i have something to contribute. Would love to join a lethbridge fish club if there is such a thing.
