Hey, I'm new to this, but 65% water change? I know these fish need clean water, but that sound very stressful.

Why permanent? Just Weight it with rocks or something!:)

In my humble opinion, soaked enough, it stays down.. Soak it for at least a week!! Changing the water. I wasn't so patient.. but that was the advice I got.

Beautiful **** things.Will get my son to upload..AGAIN:) U can oggle! Hey, heres one.. A friend had been away, and his tank was a mess and clouded up,(overfeeding, and no water-changing..)The Discus laid eggs!!:huh: WHY???

thankyou, and you may well be right.. Tho, I am finding my Pakistani loaches keep tailing my Discus..so maybe nipping at my Bettas..:blink:

My tank was set up in an emergency... the filters, gravel etc were used,(rinsed, but defo not washed.) and I put in "Cycle." I know this is bad, but leaving my fish as they were was worse.. The Discus were a greedy buy..:oops I am still learning, and my impulsiveness does NOT help:oops...

Thanks Fishkeeper26 x Brainwave.. Used a bit of filter "mess"(mesh) ; ) THATS upset my ickle Betta!

? I have no "mess" do you mean floating stuff,like java moss or something? I don't have that, as my tank is new, and so am I. :oops: I have taken some pics of my tank, and will upload when my son gets back, but mess..?/ what u mean?

when my son gets home I can. I have no knowledge to post a pic! I will describe tho? It is a big black box that sits at one end of the tank. It houses all the filter stuff. A plastic tube comes out at the back of the tank and sprays all the clean water. THAT is where she gets in. She goes in...

juwel. Internal. She is not jumping, she is sneaking in through a small gap x A big black box!

Also..! One of my female Bettas keeps hopping into the filterhousing.. I have a lid, so she is sneaking in through a tiny gap from the out-let tube! 6x in last 12hrs. how can i safely block it? (What materials.. what sealant?) thankyou! I really don't know what I would have done to-date with...

Thanks! Read up on it, and terrified! Even got a recipe to make for them. Do you want it?x Thankfully, my tank does not have many fish, and I am OCD about it!!:lol: It is my challenge to keep my Discus happy! (They came from a place that had had them for 4 weeks, so I saw them insitu..) not...

Thanks for getting back so soon! x My Discus are paired, and so are the loaches.. My Guppies need to go..(I kept them for their fry, gave the Bettas something to eat, until I sat up watching my guppy give birth, and I got all emotional..) My gut feeling is the Bettas and Discus are happy..They...

Hi, I recently set up a second-hand 260litre tank, and transferred my few fish. I then got greedy, and added 2 discus. My Discus have settled.. My residents were..5Tetra Neons, 3 female Bettas and 1 male. 2 Guppies. 1 Bristlenose pleco, 1 Ghost shrimp, 1 mountain shrimp and 2 Pakistani...

Carbon also isn't normally necessary unless you are removing meds, so you can consider just buying a sheet of filter media that you cut to size and stick in it's place to save some $. Just keep doing pwc's with Prime to keep levels as low as possible until the tank re-stabilizes. Fantastic...
