96 hours after the first picture, the propping up worked reall well, Merrilyn (gracias). Had to put a divider as the female wants to spawn and has started annoying him.
Absolutely awful episode this, lucky to only lose one.

I'm so glad you managed to save him Samir.
He's an amazing looking fish.Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P
Merrilyn has passed, but will not be forgotten - Goodbye dear friend

I think it starts with an ammonia spike, like the last time, it happened after a water change.
I'm relieved that I've managed to avoid the skinny phase that usually occurs with this illness. The last two times I had it , my fish took more than a month to fatten up again. This time they just stopped eating for two days. I guess all that practice on unsuspecting fry does have its advantages.
