Maybe the reason your mediocre looking fish are "thriving" is because your puting them in an ugly bare bottom with nothing in it. Maybe you need to replace all of those minerals because your stupid enough not to add plants, substrate and extra trace elements to the water. What do your discus do when they want to rest? Go hide behind the sponge filter? its people like you who should do research before you get a fish.
Now I meant none of that. I respect that people use barebottoms to keep the tank clean and to keep the focus on the fish. Every tank is different. We are not here to bash and rip on people, see how mad and frustrated you got from reading this post? Should I have maybe gone with a more positive route and used facts as to why you should consider my OPINION. There are multiple ways to successfully keep the same fish. One person does not have all the answers.
If this continues I will shut down this thread that was just intended for showing pictures of your discus. Give advice on another thread, and please make it positive.
Edit: After reading your post off mine I would like to clear things up.
1. They did recommend a quarantine but mine was occupied by some beat up african cichlids.
2. At the time my fish were hit by disease, I was doing biweekly 50% wcs.
3. I admit now that my tank was overcrowded and I waited to long to fix it.
4. The discus code wasn't sold at the store of who recommended it. I had to order it off line.
