    simon, discus eyes turning white lah...![]

    my ex-colleague sounded so desperate, until i also panicked! then i thought, yeah, discus turn black when sick, so i doublechecked the sms and then... []

    anyway, last heard 2 died...[] will check with him later today.

    david, kunner said "bad water quality, use heater + yellow powder". that joker didn't have any yellow powder, so i don't know what happened after that.

    will keep you guys updated, on what might have happened to cause this.

    thanks!

    Hi! The discus eyes turn white only with 2 reasons. 1st, the discus is old and 2nd the water quality is bad. The most common case is bad water quality. Simon using salt can help the discus back to healthy but usually cannot help the to clear the eyes unless it is a very minor infection. I have try using yellow powder + heater, although it is slow (about 1~2 months) but it can thoroughly remove the eye infection. [:]

    BeFuran seems to be a non-Japanese version, an alternative for those who can't read those Japanese instructions.

    but we've tried and think they're different...[:]
