Internal parasites is contagious and it is a must to separate all sick fish regardless of what fishes you keeping.

Putting discus in a pail is worsed. Please do not do that to your discus.

is the fish passing white feces??

:O didnt noe leh thought only 1 is infected. i put medication in the main tank so as to deworm them at the same time cure the infected so didnt noe will infect the others. I dont have extra tank ler. I will put them in a pail with aeration. But the pail is big those big red ones. putting the 2 infected ones in with medication..

Yup is passing out white feaces as we speak. hope pass out more than they can recover

Here are some pics.

I believe the 3 discus that were suppose to be healthy were infected too. just that they are not that skinny. I got them only on Sat.
Pics taken of ET. now struggling for its life near the surface.

Seller did not mention the 2 FOC were sick and is contagious. Could have just put them 1 side. Pics taken when still with my Turqs.

The other 3 is with my current Turqs.Truqs are still having a good appitite but these 3 have not eaten guess they are infected too. Gonna put them in the pail as well i guess...







Guys please advice what medication i should dose for the 3 that i think can still slavage.
Symptoms.
1. Starting to get skinny. can see cheek bones sinking in and bone structure above the eye.
2. Not eating
3. Fins not fully flared.

Medication i have at hand are
1. Mian shi yao from super cure Ocean Free
2. Metro tablet
3. Parzi gold from EIHO. active ingredient praziquentel
4. Intecide-A frm Aquamedic
5. Baktopur direct from Sera

Thank you.

Not advisable to use a pail, but given no choice, still better than exposing the healhy ones to whatever problem the sick ones is carrying.

I am not sure whether this brand is still available.
But i had good chance of curing internal bacteria with the medication.
Miracle Baby MQ4 and MQ5.

Only think is that you must change water more frequently due to the dosage requirement.

Have tried looking for this MQ4, but most of the LFS got MQ1 To MQ6. Only MQ4 they do not have stock. Last heard from a Bro telling me to tried Petmart but have not check there yet.
