Yes discus jump when spooked and get spooked easily. They generally try to go down to escape but mine will hit the underside of my glass hood now and again.

they are much more forgiving as far as pH and water hardness goes but they still need water with very low dissolved organics and nitrates to reach their full potential.

, they can be quite aggressive. They get pretty big too and IMO will outgrow a 10 gallon in under 6 months if fed with a quality food.

A dwarf gourami is too big for a 10 gallon and have any other fish in it. Put him in a bigger tank and you won't have issues or keep him alone in the 10g

aquabid has the best price on kanamyacin (mvp), angelsplus has the best prices on the prazi and metro and jehmco is a good source for the panacur (flub)

I do agree with clean water being the best cure. The reason I suggested metro is that it is very safe and it will clear up nematodes and flagellates. Prazi is also a very safe med. If the fish...

DON'T, they sell 100g for $65 where kensfish and angelsplus sells 100g for $13. Same stuff but you pay 5x's more for the "seachem" label

metronidazole, it is under parasite meds at angelsplus and combo meds at kensfish. There is no real down side to using metro and prazi as they are both very safe.

tetras are in general pretty weak fish and usually get diseases first. Sounds like they are pretty much goners but you can try a hydrogen peroxide bath for them. to get rid of anything external.
