Hi,

I have a large male discus who’s coughing up white masses of stuff which to me look like a type of fungus or infection. This stuff is also coming out of his gills He has a white nodule extending around 2mm from below his left pectoral fin. He’s also not breathing properly from his left gill. I’ve treated the tank for worms (Kusuri) and put in a dose of Promethyasul for bacterial, fungal and parasitic diseases. I have even tried Epsom salts. He also twitches a bit and tries to rub himself on plants etc. I had a look at some the stuff under a microscope and it just looks like a lifeliess gelly mass, couldn’t see individual cells.

The water quality is fine
Ammonia – 0
pH – 6.8
Nitrate – 0
Nitrite – 0
Temp – 29 degrees

Any advice please….. I am totally lost now. I have metro and sterazin.


Thanks,

Nathaly.
