Hi,
Last night i noticed that 1 of my new discus has got white cloudy colour on the edge of its fin and is slowly increasing to its body. I did a wc last wednesday night and i checked the ammonia and nitrite this morning and they were fine. The discus seems happy enough and it has increased in size this morning. Whats causing this and is it going to be an issue.??? How do i treat this.

I have been talking to scott on the phone and he suggested just watch it for a couple of days and if it gets worse try some salt. Then if it dosent clear up treat with protozin. Is myxazin similiar to protozin meaning do they treat same the same things. cheers axl

i would do the same b4 treating it, just watch it for a cpl of days, protozin is for white spot itch velvet, fungus diseases. Myxazin is an anti baterial. not sure of the difference ? but the myxazin seems to be doing the job for my fin rot...
