Just need some help on this as thewy have had gill flukes from the stress when i purchased them. They were flown 5 hours on a plane and i picked them up. Is PP treament my best cure? If so what rates do you use? I have never used it before and would be nervous using it as i don't want to kill my discus. Would salt treatment on tank work?
Cheers Tim
