    I set up a hospital tank and dosed as recommended on Sunday night.

    I did a 30% water change last night and re-dosed. I put a little food in yesterday afternoon. Still not eating.

    When can I expect they might start eating?

    metro makes the water taste bad so i wouldnt be suprised if they didn't start eating till after you finish treatment.

    I have done as instructed on here.

    I did the third dose of metro on Thursday evening. What now? Do I do another 30% water change tonight?

    Do I rinse the sponge filter sponge now?

    I'm not sure if the medication has worked. The fish haven't eaten. One fish has been staying near the surface since the last dose. The only thing that has changed is they are not as dark as they were before the treatment.

    Unfortunately the Metro didn't appear to work for me. One fish now dead.

    The remaining fish is not dark in colour anymore however I haven't seen it eat.

    After doing complete dose of metro over 6 days I have continued to do a water change of 30% every two days. Not sure what to do next?

    Sorry to hear that vitara, sometimes they don't make it, no matter how hard we try

    I hope your other fish begins to eat soon. Just keep offering good food (live if you can manage it) and keep up with the water changes.
    Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P
