Diseases

The FAQ actually contains more detail than we have here!

See also the diseases of dwarf cichlids topic in the Apisto section.

I highly recommend reading Dionigi Maladorno's Symtom-based treatment article on the Discus-L website.

For your confusion: You might also consider Algae a disease; we think of it as a plant. :) You might also think of hydra and other pests as diseases too; we think of them as Animals. It's a nutty filing system, but it's all we got!
