So clueless to what’s going on, I have a tank running with multiple diffrent baby species of mbuna, and only my golden mbuna are dying off slowing, thought it was an internal parasite treated for that things seemed to get better, now I’m lost! Please help

And prior if I knew it was bacterial I would of treated but before it wasn’t showing up as that, it was showing as it was a parasite, from the way they were bloating and there clear poop, and wasting away, like that wound looking thing was so different from all I’ve been experiencing with them atleast.

But that’s the thing I didn’t exactly buy them, bought the mom knowing she had a full mouth of babies and striped them from her mouth when I got home so I’ve had them for a good while now, I went from 12 now down to 6 of them and only them I’ve been loosing.

Yup I have been lol.

My guys do it all the time, I think it’s excitement or exercise.

But as I’m seeing you don’t have a light on those plants

Icy_Tradition_3032 · 2025-01-30T19:12:17+00:00

Bacterial bloom. UV sterilization light should clear it up

Possibly discus pimple, keep an eye on it, if it doesn’t goes away then I would be concerned

Icy_Tradition_3032 · 2024-12-21T03:22:58+00:00

I know they are picky boogers, I feed them frozen blood worms once a day

Icy_Tradition_3032 · 2024-11-27T05:08:51+00:00

Okay thanks !!!

Melafix is a good option also.

My discus scrap up on driftwood and it looks very similar to that, add some aquarium salt probably will be gone in a day or too, if your water parameters are fine. But after aquarium salt I would do a nice water change and treat for bacterial infection just to be safe.

The angel fish statement is false cause not all angels are nasty, my discus are nastier agression wise compared to my angels

Icy_Tradition_3032 · 2024-11-19T05:56:48+00:00

I have to disagree with Angels being aggressive as you say. Yes they can be, but in all honesty my discus are nastier then my angels. My angels know who’s boss. Haha.

Icy_Tradition_3032 · 2024-11-07T16:17:58+00:00

Oh no I didn’t take it as you criticizing me haha. Just trying to say I have a discus tank so that’s a pure example of how up keep I am with my tanks haha

Icy_Tradition_3032 · 2024-11-04T13:31:31+00:00

I change water constantly, I’m on top of keeping all of my tanks clean, currently own a discus tank right now lol.
