#discus #aquarium #fish
My 300 gallon planted fish tanks. 1. Discus fish (current 1 year old tank). 2. Assorted tropical fish (previous 10 years old tank). I do Zero water changes. I add 2 gallons of tap water to my sump daily. One gallon in the morning, and one gallon in the evening with 1/2 cap of Prime water conditioner. The water in my Discus tank is Acidic (soft), I use Fluval Aquatic Peat granules and x2 Marineland bonded filter pads in my sump (changed out every two months) along with an EHEIM 300w heater (also in sump). My tap water is (hard). I maintain consistent water parameters and test bi-monthly using API 5 in 1 test strips. GH: 180, KH: 40, PH: 6.5-6.8, Nitrite: 0, Nitrate 20-40, temp: 82f-84f. I feed my plants with Seachem Flourish (Comprehensive & Trace) bi-monthly. Fed twice daily (early morning and mid evening). I feed “Flake Variety Complete Nutrition and Flake Beef Hearts" (SOMETHINGSPHISHY) mornings. “(Tetra) Bloodworms, (Fluval) Bug Bites, (New Life) Spectrum Discus Pellets (regular), evenings. I feed frozen food once per week “(Ocean Nutrition) Discus Formula, (Hikari) Daphnia and Discus treat”. I purchased x10 1-2” discus fish in November 2023. x5 died within 1 month. X5 remaining (healthy, no disease. x1 is a runt/stunted but growing). I have medicated (Erythromycin, Nitrofurazone, Oxytetracycline) fish food, but have not needed to use it on the Discus fish as of yet🤞🏾. (purchased from SOMETHINGSPHISHY).
