    Discus not eating for 6 days

    Hi all, I got one discus here that has been stop eating for 6 days now. It always stay at the back of the tank behind the driftwood. When I feed them, this one always stay at the back and never approach to the top front of the tank where i put all the food. Now i already put this discus on a tank by itself. What should I do with it?

    Thanks

    The fact that the fish is not eating, and is having white droppings indicates hexemita, which will need to be treated by Metro.

    How big is the tank that you have him in, and what other fish are in the tank at the moment.

    You will need to get Metro from your vet.

    Hi

    Sorry, what med have u been using? is it Metro or Myxazin? As Ladyred it should be treated with Metro.
    And eating is a good sign.

    Metro is definately what you need. Can you get some from your vet?
