The sword looks nice with sand.

Ok so 4 months ago I bought fifteen emperor tetras, 9 males and 6 females. About 2 months ago I found fry, only like 5 and apparently the fish spawned in my 75 gallon planted the ph is about 7.7. So I saved the babies I could and put them in a 2.5 gallon and am raising them. Now I decided to try...

Try beefheart, you want to only feed bloodworm sparingly b/c it can mess up their digestive tract on account that they digest it so sow compared to other foods.

lol

Breed some and sell em.

So long as you followed directions of box it should work, check to make sure everything is tight and fit snug.

Your lucky, I have to make stinky insofuria.

feed them multiple times a day and try to change the water as much as possible, this will speed up growth.

Probably a bacterial infection, these are close to impossible to treat when they get that far along.

Rummies will prosper when water quality is good and will fade color or die when it is bad.

I have about 15 in a 75gallon w/ males and females, I was planning on taking one male and a female, putting them in a 10 gallon and making the water more acid. I will feed them live foods etc. How does this sound?

Charcoal has more negatives than positives IMO

I'm pretty sure 50 ppm will kill your fish.

A 45 will be fine, I'm currently doing the same thing you are, growing out 5 juvies for my 75 planted. make sure you do as many water changes as possible and feed 4-6 times a day, this will help them grow to size much faster. my five have grown over a centimeter in a month from 4 feedings a day...

What size discus are you getting? I'd highly recommend adults in a planted tank b/c if you try to grow out juvies they will almost all of the time become stunted, not saying can't be done and some people like football discus. I'd go w/ rams or no tankmates as gudeons have different requirements etc.
