Hi,

If the discus has bright red eyes and and it changed to dull red towards black. Does this means there is an health issue coming up?

thanks

Usually an indication of a toxin build up Jim, even prolonged exposure to nitrite can cause it,

Do a polyfilter test,

Hey G,

thanks, will do a poly test later.....How long does it normally take the discus to flush it out of their system?

cheers

Jim

Depends what the cause is Jim, nitrite within hours, metals can take a few days depending on the health of the fish...................

Cheers G
