Discus fish feeding on tropical flakes, frozen blood worms and discus bio gold. I started with beefhert mix and discus bio gold from the start for the community fish tank and the discus liked the flavours. Later introduced frozen blood worms and tropical flakes to increase gutt health and add...

I agree. I was not specifying on the color it's the fish. I think as fish keepers we do mistakes buy not buying a school of fish from a tank. Sometimes fish from the same breeder different tanks work sometimes you find a odd one out. Like Plebeian said So word of mouth spreads pretty fast in...

This is something I'm facing at the moment with my powder blue discus. The Discus seem to be very timid and in one end of the tank. The sellers water it was in was acidic since they add a daily dose of salt and this is not an option for my tank since its planted. After 2 weeks I gave it 2 salt...

6 month update on discus. Doing a prophylactic heat treatment on the group (can't save the plants during the treatment). Salt bath was given to the powder blue discus that's not eating and hope in 3 weeks he eats.

In a nutshell my Bosemani rainbows didn't eat beefheart mix but after I got the new turqs and power blue discus they eat. The turquoise and powder blue didn't eat pellets at the LFS but they don't spare it in my main tank. So many positives on the other fish and diets except the one powder...

How long does victim discus demise off starvation on food from bullies.

Makes sense, what if after QT treatment I add it back from the hospital tank to the main tank and it starts over again.

I honestly don't wana QT for treatment yet as he dosent look sick. I have seen and read experience with discus by treating healthy ones and they get messed up. I just feel had I bought only 4 or 6 powder blues without any turquoise they would have eaten. Read so many forums and all said new...

I tried this colin_T the powder blue dodges away from the hanging food. It's been 12 days now he still conserves energy by staying in dark corners and places with cover. He was regurgitating the food that was inside him and don't seem to have any interest in the various foods I offered. So now...

The thread started with juvis and discus diets. Now the discus are showing their potential colors at 7cm, 8cm. The melons have blossomed.

The bumps could be ulcers from your fish fighting. Overfeeding and fluid build ups are the normal cause.

I'm from Sri Lanka. An island south of India. It would be nice if all the food access in the US is available here. The only way to get it down is Amazon or Ebay but its expensive and shipping takes a long time.

I agree with you 100% on the diets but I haven't heard of any local breeders using any other forms of food apart from beefhert mix in where I live. So getting black frozen or live worms will be a challenge for me. The only positive is when I do a water change the powder blue comes to the front...

This is something new, I shall try it but I highly doubt the others would spare the dangling prawn on the thread.

Every thing what you said is 100% accurate. This too is not working for the powder blue. Others are feeding frenzy. Just concerned how long it will take him to feed and not go morose with the other fish and catch any desease. Discus are pretty good at showing aggression on sullen discus.

Hillstreams I got love sandy substrate and camouflage them selves. The pothos roots must be providing cover and disloved oxygen at that level in the tank.

It's been 3 weeks since I got the new batch of discus and one powder blue didn't feed so after 2 weeks I changed it and gota new powder blue still not feeding, all the others are just doing fine. Water Parameters and other variables are favourable for the new batch. Its without any reason I find...

New discus acclimated to established fishtank.

Nice tank, the melons look like my-ones. You should enter the tank of the Month contest.

Highlight for 2024 this fish tank has been taken over by discus. Dimensions of the tank is 4 feet x 2 feet x 2 feet and Volume 340 liters cement wall tank with front glass-wall. The tank is a well cycled fish tank with minimum care and maintenance with only a weekly water change. Aquascaped...

Since you keep them with plants how often do you clean the substrate and change the water.

I agree Fishburn, Thanks to the Internet discus keepers are more knowledgeable. If I get my hands on wild discus I still think they would do just fine in my setup.

My Discus are doing quite well at 26°C to 31°C. I dewormed all schoolers a week back with metronidazole. Since I got live plants the temp is at room temperature.

Discus headaches and hyper realistic tanks go hand in hand for artist that are talented and blessed. Over the past year my tank has transformed from nano-stomus fish to hemi-stomus and drawn me to the king of the aquarium (please don't eat my fish). The tank has got cultured to a diversified...

They grow fast since most barebottom tanks Discus burn less energy.

I started keeping Discus recently and not knowledgeable than most experts. Try to get in touch your LFS or the Discus breeder and ask him for the medication and food he fed and you could do due diligence from that base. Discus are schooling fish and that makes a huge difference in their health...

From the Discus fish I'm caring for over the past 5 months they have established a pecking order in the aquarium. In a community tank with Discus, feeding fish with floating pellets or sinking pellets has a growth inhibiting or exhibiting culture. The Discus i got shows resptiveness for food...

I feed them Hikari Discus Bio gold and a homemade discus mix.
