He has a large tank yes. But it is really very neglected and I do believe these discus got use to some abuse so maybe thats why they didn't show any stress in my small tank. I ll do frequent water changes as suggested. Thanks. Thanks Autum. I have a pump to pour and take out water. Will use that. It will be less stressful for the fish. About hikari well thats the only reputable brand here other than the stendker frozen beefheart which will reach to me very late. So i ll try hikari. Also ordered garlic guard. Its only two weeks but i don't want these fish to get sick so wanna do everything possible in my reach.
There is one update. Today they nibbled at food. They took and spitted out. I ve seen my mono angels did that when they were new to tank. So is this a good sign that they atleast tried to eat? They didn't like food or if its the usual normal thing and they ll eat food eventually if they now at least tried the food?Brookster dear I understand your frustration as this is animal abuse but its just two weeks and I am doing my best as possible so that's why looking for help. I read and read and there is one misunderstanding happened on my part as well. They said 10 gallon per one discus but they were saying 10 gallon for additional discus and usually 50 gallon to start with. So i misunderstood and thought well they ll be fine if one requires 10 gallons only. I later understood what they were saying. On top of that i called lfs and he said a pair is fine in 16 to 20 gallon which of course is false info. Maybe he was thinking i am gonna buy a pair from him and my tank is small so he maybe just said to sell his discus.
Anyways i see they are not stressed so that makes me less stressed as well. I hope they start eating soon. I cranked the temperature to 82f
