My temp is 85-86 I can't get it much higher so I may need to invest in another heater. My tank is a 70 gal. I did some research and I believe it is flukes :( oh well everyone warned me about the parasites so hopefully we have caught it soon enough! I ordered the prazipro the day you told me...

I have 6 neons and a clown pleco with them and that's all I plan on getting and also mine don't seem to like the freeze dried as well either. I put the root tabs in last over a month ago so I don't think that's it although it could be. Nitrates aren't over 5ppm and my ph has been at 7.0-7.2. I...

I have been feeding them cobalt discus flakes, frozen brine shrimp, and frozen and freeze dried blood worms. They are all eating however the one in the last picture is kinda slow and I've noticed him darting real quick on plants then being still I see no ich hmmm Sent from my iPhone using...

Here are a few more pics of my fish! Maybe you can see more if they are stunted, the pigeons are peppered quite a bit but that's ok, I may change my background in the future. The last pic is the "runt" discus he seems to be the loner and isn't quite as active. He hides more than anything Sent...

Well said! I love your fish! Two of mine are peppered and also apparently stunted and that's ok because I'll make sure from here on out they are well taken care of :) thanks for all the advice :) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

These are my very first discus, I've done my research but my experience is about 1 weeks worth now so don't take my advice! I'm not trying to say anyone is wrong! Everyone on here knows more than me and I'm enjoying hearing about it lol. The first pic of my discus I posted was a few hours after...

He is obviously doing something right! Those fish are stunning! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

The fish I ordered I floated for 45 min and put straight in the tAnk. Somethingsphishy said they put a mild sedative in the water and to not put any water in the tank! It's been 5 days and mine are still going strong! I love them! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Wow georgeous, beautiful fish!! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Mine arrived very active and seemed to be well packed in a styrofoam crate, the fish were in individual dark bags. This was my first live fish shipping experience and they weren't even in route quite 24 hours, so that was good. All of mine are still alive. I'm doing about 30-40% water change...

Thanks guys and thanks mr.coolguy for all your insight!! I know I'm not out of the dark but I feel Good about them :) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice I think they're georgeous :)

My fish have some beautiful color potential! It's still early so these parasites you speak of I'm sure haven't shown up yet. Maybe I should just go ahead and treat them?? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have some hornwort in my tank. The Discus I got are all swimming and beautiful so no complaints here so far :) I'm excited. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Well they seem to be doing quite well so far....how long until you noticed problems? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Ok guys my fish arrived and have been In the tank a few hours in the dark. They are all very alive and active. Some were picking on each other :(. Only one seems to be a little sluggish but he's still swimming ok. Fingers crossed they make it thru the night! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium...

I only use root tabs for fertilizer in all my tanks and have had success with it. The acclimation say to let them float 45 min or so then dump their water in a clean bucket put the fish directly in my tank with a strainer. My nitrates aren't 0 but they are preety close to yellow on my master API...

The tank is cycled well and My nitrates are preety close to 0, I have always done at least 25% weekly water changes so I'm hoping the discus do great (fingers crossed) I will not skimp on their food to save water changes! I don't mind the water changes at all and I got a clown PLECO not a clown...

Also candy man. I have bought a variety of discus food so if they're picky they have some choices, I'll keep you guys posted :) I'm sure I'll need your help Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Oops I meant clown pleco I don't know why I said loach! Thank you guys. How often should I do water changes the first week. This seller is saying 25% a day for a week Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I ordered a clown loach as well :) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Somethingsphishy.com. It says to do put them in a solitary tank for the first two weeks to prevent stress before putting them with anything else?? You think I'm ok to just put them in the tank with the tetras once I accumulate them?? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have bred angels for years and have done ton of discus research, however these are my first Discus so I have 0 experience. Also I set up a planted aquarium. The instructions say no plants and snails...I also have them as well !!! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Ok so I have been cycling my 75 since January and am finally ready for my fish. My only problem is the accumulation instructions say they need to be alone for a few weeks and I have 6 tetras and 3 corydoras. I hate to move them but I don't want to stress the discus in any way so what the heck do...
