That is what quarantine is all about. Everything you use is is not contaminated. Don't want any old filters, gravels, water or fish in there to cycle the tank. You don't know what sorts of nasties these stuffs is harbouring. Any little thing can trigger an outbreak of diseases. ron

for 10 ltrs WC is easy. 1 min to siphone and 10 seconds to tip a bucket of new water in
-
For a Q tank that small I wouldn't bother putting anything in there. Just do a 10 ltr waterchange daily.
-
for beginer I advice you to get bigger fish because 3cm can be pain if things go wrong. ron

What class would the Discus fall into??? ron
-
Put an airstone in or put the outlet of your filter at the surface of the water to create movement . Your tank is probably starve of oxygen. ron

Glad to hear that there is no more death. At 28 deg they shouldn't have white spot. Why do you want to use metro?? Are you fixing up internal problem? I would just stick to oxy since it stop the dying.

I wouldn't use any ugf. Canister is the way to go. ron

Get half a dozen discus and grow them up ron

How often and how much water to change depend on your set up and feeding regime. Like Ryan says, the more you WC the cleaner the water with less bio load and your discus will be healthier with less stress = less disease. ron

Try using Furan 2 and acriflavin together. Good luck, Ron

Hi Lorrainel, your discus might have intestinal flagellete.Being 3-4 weeks now, it might be hard to get it back on track. Treat it with metronidazole asap. Increase the temp to 32 deg. ron

not at the moment and they're very expensive. ron

small discus with big pleco and big discus with small pleco. ron

Better safe than sorry. Then again if the fish is cheap enough to replace and readily available you can take the risk. But when you have a tank of discus that is worth over $4000.00 , you'll think twice about saving a few cents on every waterchange . Especially when some of the strains could not be replaced even with money. Ron

What make you think your fish got internal parasite??? ron
-
You can get 2 if you want but have a divider on hand. If 1 get hassle you'll have to seperate them. ron
-
Which one?? ron
-
You can start with 6 50mm discus in a BB tank. Waterchange at least 3 times a week (25%). A heater set at 28 deg. A sponge filter (minimum), or hang on back filter or small canister filter. The fish will grow to about 8-9 cm. Then you'll have to get them a bigger tank. Ron

Do not feed meat to the goldfish because they can't digest the fat in it, OK for cichlids. Ron
-
I've got some and they're starting to pair up. PM me if you're after some. Got a batch of smaller one too. Ron
-
you shouldn't be feeding liquid fry food after 2 weeks of swimming. 3 mths old frys should be eating anything and everything and they should be quite big in size by now unless they're stunted.

My fighter ron

If I were you, i'll ring the the seller cos' only he/she will know the fish best. How big is the fish (not including tail). If the fish is too small, it probably won't make it. Cheers, ron
