Tank setup question

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Well not to sure to be honest about that but my tanks have both been running for 5 to 10 years between all my tanks so even though the tank was new the substrate and filter was the same and moved right over and started up so all bb made it so really the only thing that changed for them was they got more space and they got a little bit bigger water change because the tank is bigger so they all are doing great and ate within minutes of being in the tank like nothing changed discus arnt as hard to keep as people make them out to be I treat them no different then my cichlids lol I had one jump out of the tank hit the window behind the tank then hit the window sill, then drop another 3 feet and hit the cement floor the fish was covered in dust scratched up horrible and I just picked him up threw him back in the tank with a little stress coat and he was perfectly fine they arnt sensitive like people make them out to be however if you have wild discus then those can be more sensitive and require a little more care but still perfectly doable

That's unusual what temperature did you have them at? Where did you buy them? What was there diet? And did they have any tank mates or just discus

Always kept tank at 82f and ph around 6.4 to 6.6 I feed them ocean nutrition discus formula and live tubifex worms...tank mates were 5 apistogramma blue steels...I really think it might of been the places I was buying from...haven't had ick in that tank since tho

Yeah you need to buy discus from a reputable place or from private owner i will never buy a discus from a store

Well I will probably never own Discus again...they really loved the live tubifex worms tho, you should try feeding yours some
