Saving very sick Discus Fish! My first Discus, not what you expect 🤭

Ready to meet my first Discus Fish? Here they are :D not what you expect, being close to demise and all, but I love them all the same, especially because I was able to rejuvenate them! Here is what I did to save them!

Wow. Well done.

I think you should keep them. You fought hard to heal them and you know that you will help them thrive in your care.

[@lindagrohmann3022]

Poor babies, but you nursed them back to health so well, thank you for helping them! It breaks my heart to see fish suffer so badly, so many of them are severely mistreated oftentimes that it makes me so happy to see someone take the time and spend the resources to take care of them. If I were you I couldn't have given them away, but of course I get that space is an issue. I think if you can find or make space for them that it would be so lovely for you to take them back and keep them. Anyway, I hope they find someone that loves them the way they are and gives them a nice forever-home, whether it's you or someone else!

You are a kind human being.. 💗🐠🐡

Amazing job helping them heal. That often doesn't go so well. It's so cool to see your aquarium channel! I recently got rid of some of my more typical house plants like spider plants so I could put in a new 20g tank and focus on just aquariums, orchids, african violets, and reptiles.

Wow, that's definitely the best introduction to a new species to care for! You've done amazing.

[@jakeschreiner9348]

I’m all for a stunts and runts that’s just full of rescues and the wonkiest plants

[@mysticshining]

Keep 🐟🐠 . This was really interesting to see the whole process of how they were, and what you did.

[@tinynina76]

Wow! What an amazing job you did! You're like the fish whisperer, or something like that! Bless you for helping these gorgeous creatures.

I got my discus fish yesterday and watching this🥶

[@adamcenteno6155]

K would never give them away. I love Discus fish. Especially the St. Merah. They are very hard to get.

[@gertrudewelsh781]

That is an amazing recovery.

[@Splashaquatics]

Great video! 👍

[@sirajsabar8230]

Love the progress video and steps you took. Very well done for saving them, they looked far gone when you got them :)

[@taiaquatics]

instead of using brand names when discussing your med, you might check the label and mention the active ingredients in the products you are using. looks like they were cold or the temp was fluctuating to get them in this shape. also, Metronidazole treatment right away for protozoans. then also if you know how, a potassium permaganate treatment for external parasites. once they start taking food, you can mix metro in food. (it lasts 8 hours in water then becomes inactive so you can treat, wait 8 hours, change water, then treat again). you can also try probiotic bacteria powder for replacing the probiotics after gut and parasite treatments. I use an aqua ponics commercial powder to treat my tanks. it improves appetite and balances gut health especially after you treat with metro.

A shoutout to the Anubias that endured all of the medicines and chemical imbalances in the water parameters.

Hi, i have discuss fish, and the tail of it is bent/curved. It eats food and shy a lot. Don’t know what to do?

[@Danny-MOG]

Hi, well it’s hard to tell based on the information provided.. was it always like this? Purchased this way? Is there a lesion there too? Could be genetic, could be fin rot.. I really can’t say 🤔

[@abbieflint3060]

Any tips for someone just starting out with aquascaping/fish keeping? Where to begin? Discus is what started my interest but I feel there is so much experience gain before I can do it? Thoughts?

[@Danny-MOG]

Hi, I would definitely start with a betta fish, some snails and maybe shrimps and a nano tank of about 40l (10 galons). I used to have some betta setup tutorials I sadly lost, but I'll make more in the future :) I would stay away from Discus for now, they really are such moody fish, very expensive and with space requirements. I think you'll enjoy a simple betta tank with easy plants, a piece of wood, aquasoil and a suitable light. Visit tropica.com to learn about popular aquarium plants and which are easier. Hope this helps!
