Congrat ! i bet you are over the moon. They are pretty easy to keep. Eat pretty much everything and anything. I haven't seen any ich on mine at all. ron

Small discus 20-25mm are just babies and have different needs compared to adult discus. They need frequent feeding and waterchange in order to grow and stay healthy. Mixing them is not a good idea in my opinion. They will get stunted and worst case sinario die after a while due to stress and lack of food. JMO, ron

I've got 3 of them and they're all quite. Only ever change the impeller on one of them when it rattle and that fix it. Couldn't see anything wrong with the old impeller too. ron
-
swap the impeller with the CF1000 and see if it quiet down. If that works then you need a new impeller. ron

Deffinately the open space and better water quality. Only sick and stress discus hide. Healthy discus should come to the front of the tank when you approach them. ron

I don't think the close cell sponge from the mattress work. You have to get the open cell sponge. ron

Yes, do a big water change with warm water and checkthe things that the Conch mentioned. There might have been a power cut overnight so check your water parameters too.

Discusguru replied to Davd-lw's topic in Anabantoids
first of all what are you trying to achieve by crossing the two fish. I would say you will get a whole lot of rubbish in F1 and F2 lol. -
Nice pic Dougstark, thanks for sharing. ron

You can remove him after the fry starts free swimming in a week's time.

Colour enhanced food like spirulinar brings out the colour of fish and everything else that don't normally show on a fish body but are there. ron

Well said Adrriene, Pigeon base discus will ALways have peppering. It will show up when stressed, sick and in dark environment. If you want to minimise it, put it in a BB tank with all the sides painted WHITE and a bright light switch on lol. ron

Well done Alan and where is the pic? ron
-
Got enough T5 lights now. What discus are you after?
-
They hold the temp quite well. As long as you have them in the water, they won't break. ron
-
I personally consider them the best of all the heaters i've tried. And i've tried pretty much all the available brands out there. hope that help, ron

Welcome to the forum. Any pic of your kids to share? ron

As African says, a Sponge Filter is the one to go for frys. ron
-
How big is the tank? 2-3 tablespoon per 40 ltrs water. ron
-
A clear pic will help to identify the problem. Otherwise it's just a stab in the dark. Do some big waterchange for a start and add salt to the tank. What is the temp of the tank? ron

Thanks guys . Hi Caper, for CrownTail fighters as they grow the fins on the male will become bigger and longer and they are more colourful. The female is less colourful, shorter finnage and rounder body. ron -
I do 50% or more daily waterchange for my discus and 50% waterchange 3 times a week for my fighters. ron
