Discus Medication
Because Discus cannot be considered particularly hardy fish, it is wise to have certain medications on hand when you keep them. These include:
- Prazi (Droncit) A gentle worming medication that treats worms and flukes.
- Metro (Metronidazole 400mg Tablets) An antibiotic.
- Furan2 For the treatment of bacterial diseases.
- Aquarium Salt Though not a medication itself, aquarium salt is very useful in preventing ich, a common fish disease, and is widely regarded as being very good for the general health of your fish.
Discus are some of the most visually appealing fish in the hobby, and it is little wonder that they have come to be called “The King of Aquarium Fish”. They swim languidly in the water, their round bodies gracefully flashing bright colors to awed onlookers.
