Ryan Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I bought my discus and he had some little spots of fungus on him (maybe 3 or 4) looked like from ripped off scales) now he has about 12. I am medicating the tank with "liquid Fungus Cure" has that little fish doctor on it. The fish used to be hiding but now that the tank is medicated he is starting to come out. No response to food; though has only been in the tank for a day and a half. Any suggestions to what i should do here. I all out of options if this medication dont work. :well: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyL Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Standard treatment for any discus ailments is usually to increase temperature (slowly) to 86-88, and start adding salt. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted October 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Ok. I think it is fin rot. If this medication dont help i will raise the temp and add salt. Is there a set amount of salt i should put in. Or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
