    Sick discus in planted tank

    I just transferred 4 of my Turqs and one PB from my growing out tank to my planted a week ago. They are about 8- 10 mths old so ithought they would be stronger. Today I find the turqs very dark and with mucuslike white patches. They are very jittery but still eat abit.

    Can anyone assist me in this?
    Should I take them out or treat them in the planted tank?
    What are the things I should do?
    What meds are suggested?

    Thank you [:] []

    I din have an extra tank so what i did was to prepare a dip in the biggest pail i could find.

    20%- Salt
    Dosage of Melafix

    Dipped my Discus for 20 min while i changed 50% of the main tank water.

    So far so good.
    The patches are gone and they dun look so jittery anymore.

    Btw
    O-Nitrites
    15ppm-Nitrate
    8-PH
