    Noticed that one of my discus is breathing through one gill. Everyone else seems healthy. Treated with seachem paraguard for 2 days last week before i noticed the problem. Any ideas what could cause this? Flukes? Ick?

    Hi
    for a better response and advice :
    You could fill out Dirk's questionnaire for your own ,and his, better realisation and Identification of problems.

    OR

    You could PM me a landline telno ..I'm near mine for next 2-3h, and can help narrow down your troubles

    Either way, alot more info is required , speculation is time wasted in this case.

    cheerio!

    @Altum thank you for the offer i appreciate it, but i was out visiting and now i see that the fish is using both gills and looking normal, eating etc. I dont know what could cause him to use one gill and keeping the other shut earlier. But i will be monitoring him and hope that all is well...terrible feeling wen discus show signs of illness. Cheers.
