Well ive been battling a small outbreak of discus plague for a week but my old girl gave up the fight. She was my first ever discus and after 6yrs shes gone and the tank just dosen't look the same. R.I.P :cry:
All of the others seem 100% and all water parameters are good, but i just wanted to know if its a good idea to continue or dose a specific treatment as a follow up to ensure the rest of thepack don't fall sick.
Also wanted to say that if wasn;t for this forum i think i would have lost my old girl in the first month. Thanks everyone.

keep the ph low for another month, and keep up the water quality, you should see them start to put back on any weight they lost.

when they are obviously flourishing again yopu can bring your ph back up to its usuall reading.

the good thing about plague is once they've had it they are immune to it, however thay can remain carriers for the rest of their lives.
