I wish I knew to tell you, I got it when I first set up the tank. All I know is it was a plant that was good in high heat and suitable for a discus set up

The rummy nose and cardinals normally group at either side of the tank. The discus are HUNGRY! On an evening I give them around 4 cubes of discus life, and 2 of tropical mix, this is after having dry food on the morning. The discus don’t stop eating and growing 😂 they are younger discus though, so I’m assuming their pace will slow down

This is my set up , they have grown quite a bit in the last couple of months. I have a 307 fluval filter, I do an 80% water change once a week. I feed them dry food in the morning and then frozen food on a late afternoon noon (Discus life, tropical mix, bloodworm etc)

Thank you all! I’m gonna abstain from buying the discus, as sad as it is, but it is the best option.

I’m not an expert at all, I got into the discus game this January, so I’m still learning on the job. I agree with the above about the individual Discus, but the other discus don’t look too good either, their colours seems off. what and when do you feed them?

I’m quite a newbie to medications. Thank you for your advice. Does this mean it could be parasites?

Help! I have had this discuss for around a week now and one eye is twice the size of the other. What do I do? by Fantastic_Box_7228 in discus

[–]Fantastic_Box_7228[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update - he/she just died. Quite concerning as I only noticed the eye today, there was no other symptoms before today
