    I'll try upload close ups of the fish tomorrow night. Taking photo's with the ipad just doesn't come out the way it should.

    I try to find a previous close up from the skinny one and take a new pic tomorrow and post again. He where never big into eating but now eats like all the other.

    ive tried to upload close up earlier but for done reason they didn't uploaded.

    ive got one close up of the big discus but if fed them brime shrimp so it isn't the best pic.

    Hi @Tetra

    Im a bit confused here, the discus you show here now seems to be a different fish to the one you were concerned about at the start of this thread. How is that fish coming along now?

    Then there are another 2 discus in that pic that really are not looking good. Have you managed to source the correct metronidazole yet? I think these fish need some immediate attention.

    Keep us updated please.

    Update again. I've installed new tubes today and tank appears much brighter. Between the four Discus all looking good except the one. He improved alittle and then deteriorated again some days he's beter than other days. I've start to add blood worms and brime to there daily food with there pallets hopefully he will pick up again and just improve.

    Looking good. Just a casual observation... There seem to be a lot of snails? Is this not a sign of excessive feeding?

    #Broder for some reason 90% of all my snails sticks to that spot at the back of my tank. They've increased since I starting to feeding my Discus more. But checking that there isn't any extra food lying around.
