We carry full line discus fish medicines - 99.99% discus fish diseases can be cured by our discus fish medicines.

Like any other tropical fish, discus can be exposed to many kinds of stress: frequent fluctuations in water temperature and pH value, polluted water, improper diet, improper tank mates, frequent netting, quarantine in unsuitable tanks etc. Stress directly weakens resistance to infections.
Maintaining a stress-free environment is as important as using the right medicine. Actually, discus are very strong cichlids. They don't get sick as easily as other fish. They are more susceptible to only a few diseases that don't normally attack other fish. Unfortunately, most local pet shops don't carry these discus medications in stock. We would like to introduce these "hard to find" medications here only.

Para-Rid: Aka Para-Egg Killer is a mild medical agent effective for curing internal and external parasitic diseases in ornamental fish without harming the aquarium nitrifying bacteria. Thanks to the new bio-technology, this medicine works by killing all kinds of parasite eggs, unlike formalin, triclorophon and many other medicines that cannot kill eggs and are highly toxic to the fish and humans. Discus are very susceptible to skin and gill worms. Gill worms can destroy a whole brood within six weeks. If you find gill worms in a school of young discus you've bred, then it can be assumed they were infected from the parent fish. This has become the biggest problem in discus breeding. Many skin and gill worms are usually introduced with live food or specimens captured in the wild. They lay eggs that anchor to the gills by means of a filament. Adult fish tolerate a mild infestation well, though sometimes they rub or scrape themselves and jerk their fins....
Use 1 teaspoon (or 5ml) for every 13 gallons on day 1, repeat 50% dose on days 4 and 7.
A $15/bottle which contains 75ml treats 100 gallons three times.
