the ph seems a bit high for discus dont you think?? i keep mine at 6.6 - 6.9ish

My Discus are at 8-8.2 and do wonderful. I've found there's a lot of out-dated info out there on Discus. I don't even bother with most books anymore for that reason.

I keep mine at 7.4. I find it easier to match the tap water
...than fool around with the pH and ending up killing the fish in the process from constant changes.:iagree:
 
thats actually why I keep my discus at 7.4, its useless to constantly play with pH buffers, it kills fishes!!! thanks for the help mates!
 
Get some neon and cardinal tetras! They really bring out the aquarium i think. Also they look breath taking in low lighting.
 
Ya, same i keep mine at 8ph and there wonderful. They love it in my opinion!
