i bidded for only 3 Albino but due to my mistake of colelction time i couldnt make it in time and my GF decided to helped me collect.

Only told her to look if it is red eyes and yellow in color. she's clueless haha.I bidded for 3 but got 5. Thus i think the 2 are actually infected (thinkis the FOC). Not complaining but i see liao heart pain so will still do my best to treat them.

Haiz i no mood take pics also. they skinny but stomach bloated. Still treating with metro. WC 90% everyday hope they recover

Oh, seriously I dont think you will want to waste your metro. It could be organ failure which only transplant could help........ and i dont know of anyone that knows how to do it.

haha thanks for advice. the least i can do for it and have a chance of recovery. Hope it wont die.. at least better than doing nothing.

I'm glad u r not blaming the seller cos most of the time when we buy the wrong stuff, its we that are usually at fault cos we didn't check properly. I ever paid $250 for a 6" pair of LSS which I thought was dirt cheap, but ended with a very sick male that was incurable from day 1. I was upset initially, but recalled that the male was very dark when I purchased it. So, who to blame? myself, I saw it was dark, but bought it anyway.

Its good not to give up on treating ur fishes, u can continue with just 1 course of metro and see if got improvement, if not, its time u save ur metro tab, and let the fish die a natural death. But do leave them in their own tank to avoid infecting the rest.

I think good quality discus come with a price. As for bidding isn't there a pics to view ? Mostly FOC will not have quality but better be safe they don't carry parasites that could infect the purchase.

You can cull them rather than treat them unless treatment cost is not a concern.

If after bidding u arrived and the discus are sick, DO NOT buy them! u have the rights to NOT buy them as it is not stated in the auction. Pictures dont have them feeding do they? some angles cant show it is unhealthy

Agreed. All buyer have the right not to buy if the fishes look sick.

Medication for discus can be expensive...better to cut losses and cull them rather than spend money on medication.

ice

haha get your point. But i prefer to save its life than saving on medication

Can feed tubi? or BS? they don seem interested in BW. BW all eaten by the healthy Turqs haha!!!!

[itchy]

You never separate the sick fish? Still mix together with healthy ones?

yea. i never seperate. the healthy ones eating happily.Must seperate? no extra tank... is putting them in a pail ok?
