clearly have pathogen in planted tank. QT new fish 5 weeks and after introduction now 2 maybe 3 fish with the wasting disease sx. One cured with Jack Wattley's pH lowering technique in QT tank but probably won't work in planted tank. So added levimisole 5g yesterday. Fish have all become lethargic and uninterested infood but not overtly in distress. Read levimasole can cause this. Will continue in hopes of finding a solution. I suspect parasites given absence of external disease and little resp distress. Sx withdrawal, lethargy, reduced/no appetite.
pH lowered to 6.
Nitrates <25. No ammonia nor nitrite.
May have to move all discus to QT tank but that won't remove pathogen from main tank.
