San Merah Discus
Due to a case gill flukes, I did a PP treatment this weekend (took them out of main tank for the treatment).
Discus are back in the main tank now & they have all eaten & are acting normally. One of the discus (a wild) has brown staining marks on the clear part of his tail m& fins. Can anything be done to help this situation?
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know where PP can be sourced these days?
Went to the usual bulk Chemists & they now inform me that it has been taken off the shelf due to their "bomb making" potencial :P

San Merah Discus
Some said that to me, but finally one actually checked & I think it is that you can't buy more than a certain amount, but they can order it in for you. I got it from the chemist in Piccadilly shopping centre, Sydney. I can dig up their phone no if you need it.

I have seen it on the shelves at a Chemist Warehouse up here. 50g for $8.99.

I landed up finding a Chemist that had some in stock (Was a lucky find IMO), but it seems as though it's getting harder & harder to come by.
Of course 50g does go a damn long way

How long is the stock solution viable?
I have a 2.5" discus with rapid/forced gill movements and "fat" lips which don't come together when he breathes. Hides in dark places, etc.
I am hoping a 4 hour pp dip in a small tank will make a difference.
Am I doing the right thing? Should I just go for the 10 min treatment first?
Thanks

keep your stock solution in a clean steril bottle wrapped in foil in the fridge, i make mine up with distilled water and still effective at a month old.

I'll have to put a bottle under my Air Conditioner drain when it warms up.
How long until I would expect to see improvement after a 5 Hr treatment?
Quite a few strange things on the floor of the tank.
Thanks

no other fish in the tank has it, ammonia etc are all 0.
i heard protozin gets rid of it too?
