Maybe Methylene Blue would help, but it will dye your silicone blue.

If you don't know exactly what kind of fungus, you're going to have to use wide spectrum antibiotics to try to cover the whole range.
The most easily available is to use a combination of Maracyn 1 & 2. This should cover all gram negative & gram positive bacteria.
A little of formalin together with the antibiotics should target the fungus.

+. i would do the same like this.
water change and raising temp also help.

How big is your tank?

Sorry for your lost. Are you sure that was fungus? Could you give us a better description of the fungus? Also:
1. Water temp
2. W/C regimen
3. Diet
4. Filtration
5. How you treat the fungus?
6. Did you take any picture?

1+ for maracyn 1&2... I've found the combination to be very effective but I've never combined with formalin.

i wil post all the info and details rite now my phone is not leting me text it all yall wana here this crazy desease killed them n 5 to 7 hours with no mercy

Sounds like Columnaris. It can wipe out a tank in 24 - 48 hrs.
The most obvious sign is poofy fuzzy white tufts growing out of their body and fins.

Either that or you treated for for fungus / columnaris and they were getting better, but you stopped medicating before all the nasties were killed, so they came back faster, stronger and more resistant to antibiotics after.

[wesleydnunder]

I was thinking columnaris too. Columnaris loves warm water so you actually need to lower the tank temp to treat it and that stresses your discus out too. Sorry you lost your discus.
