my discus has lost its color and turned a dark, kinda black or purple color and always hides. he also sometimes leans to one side at about a 45 degree angle. what could be wrong with him and how can i treat it?

*** tested the water and its good

What's in the tank with him what are you feeding him what's your temp and ph

 

[cantu1216]

right now hes alone in a hospital tank. temp is 84 and ph is about 6.2

i read that gill fluke could be the problem. could that be it?

Hello, I've had the same problem at the beginning hobby. Disease called the swim bladder. The dark color is probably stress. Note: Don´t know your water parameters? Advise: Keep tpa's with good water quality regularly. Good quality food is essential. take care of your discus. Vitor Pires
