Sick discus?

[Andrew101]

That liquid beneficial bacteria stuff STILL requires the tank to cycle. As you noticed you are getting ammonia and nitrate which are extremely toxic to any fish. Discus being super sensitive I don't think it was a good idea to put them through a mini cycle. Especially with how expensive they can be.

I agree with everything the above said with one addition. I think you should increase your WC to 50-80% daily.

I let my nitrates get to 20ppm and two of my discus turned black and started breathing really heavy. All because they were used to <5. These guys are sensitive.

This is the tank now comments? Just pm me. I have 6 discus in this tank

Nice set up. Are the discus eating good? How are you parameters now? How often are you changing water? Just asking because the fins looks like they're ammonia burn. Pls don't take it as being rude, I'm just asking.

Any updates?

Maybe its just the picture, but from that last pic, those discus don't look so healthy. They're too dark and that small on top is way too thin.

Well I moved the tank so they're fine actually doing better than this colors are bright and showing not dark. I clean the tank every other day water parameters are good.
