I have dwarf puffers and they are very hard to feed. I think they eat snails so I put a lot of snails in the tank. I mostly feed them with frozen bloodworm but it can be hard to feed them more than 3 times a day. I haven't found any food other than bloodworms that they will eat. If anyone...

I purchased moon lights from http://www.thelebos.com/ The lights use LEDs which will last for years without being replaced. Actually I have never seen a LED burn out unless it was damaged. The site also includes a computer control that allows you to sync your lights with the intensity of the...

My water is just like yours. I purchased a Coralife 50 GPD unit with deionaziation for$150.00. Works great now my discus eggs hatch properly. I tried using kent R/O right and seachem Discus Buffer but I really never had any luck getting the water parameters right using them. I finally...

I am not trying to be lazy. It is just that I use 20 gallons of RO water a day for my Discus and that means at least 60 gallons of waste water and I can't use all that in the garden plus moving it outside with 5 gallon buckets gets old. There isn't a high concentration of ammonia, nitrites, or...

I bought a python water changer and it is the best thing I ever did. I don't have to use buckets anymore. I thought I really wouldn't need one but now that I have it I can't live without the python water changer. You just connect it up to a sink and you can gravel vac your tank and then fill...

I have an RO system and I use the good RO water for my Discus tanks. I end up pouring the waste water down the drain. Could I use this waste water for Angel fish or guppies? I keep the Angel Fish and Guppies in my tap water now with no problems. Does the waste RO water have a higher...

I have been keeping Discus for about a year and a half now. I started with 4 Discus which didn't work out very good because they really picked on one of them and he never grew as big as the others. I also kept the temp at 82F for a while but the Discus seemed dark and sluggish so I turned the...

I have the 2 discus in a 30 gallon tank nothing else. I have a sponge filter and I do 40% water changes every other day. I thought it is just the water hardness too but wasn't sure. I thought low pH is a side affect of softwater also but my pH in my container is 7.2 which is kind of high and...

I have seen the female lay the eggs and then the male fertilize them. The eggs get some color to them only a small amount turn white. I also watch and the discus are not eating the eggs for the first few days. I guess eventually they eat the eggs when they don't hatch about 3 - 4 days later...

Hello, I have a pair of Pigeon Blood Discus that have laid eggs about 5 times now without anything hatching. I am guessing my water is to hard and the eggs aren't developing properly. Water parameters are: Temp 84F PH 7.6 dGH 12 dKH 12 Nitrites 0 Nitrates 0 I purchased an R/O unit and have...

I had that problem with one of my discus. I think it is stressed and also you may want to check your temperature. I was keeping my discus at 82 but now that I have turned up the temp to 84 they seem much better.

I had the exact same thing happen to me. I posted the same question 2 weeks ago. I purchased 4 discus about 6 months ago and 3 of them bully 1 which is now half the size of the others. I cut a piece of clear acrylic to divide the tank and put the small discus in one half by himself. He seems...

I have tried using 150 grit and 600 grit sandpaper and it would remove the scratch but it left a really cloudy look that was unacceptable. I also tried some higher grit sandpaper from autozone and I still get a cloudy look to the acrylic. I found this post on a site and it is what I am going...

I use a piece of 1/8" black acrylic sheet behind my tank and it looks great and is easy to clean. Also you can change it out to clean it or put a different color up.

I have 2 XP3s on my 125 gallon. The tank is 5 feet from my bed and I can hardly hear them run when I am sleeping. The XP3s are very easy to clean and keep my tank really clean. Ape
