Problem is, if you treat with PP in the quarantine tank and then you return the fish in a contaminated tank, then they are going to get flukes again.
Something must be done for the main tank as...

I would get at least 25 watt and not those cheapo units like jebo or the green killing machine. Those are not really good for killing parasites.

Never mind the ph test kit, get yourself an ammonia and nitrite test kit. I bet those fishes are irradiated with dangerous ammonia!
They need a cycled filter, they need a good heater, and when...

I think if you go with a planted tank, don't plant so that they fish have too many places to hide. Like use low covering plants and a few longer at the back (not too dense).

I am starting to think that the only way to go with discus is to have many fishes in a bare tank. That way they have not much choice but to stay together as they feel more secure that way.

My discus are acting really strange. They are all outgoing and in the corner of the aquarium begging for food when I return from work. I can walk by the aquarium, do any kind of gesture and they...

Another thing I noticed is that they have become extremely skittish dashing on the back and behind the plants now. They were very outgoing and not skittish at all before the treatment. Is the...

That fish recovered after only 2 hours with Prazipro (wow) and now is breathing normaly but on the...
