Thank you for those ideas. :)

I don't actually need it right now but I was trying to organise a "first aid kit" or "medicine cabinet" ready for my discus if I should need it.

In your experience everyone, what would you put...

Hi all,
I have a discus who needs some Metro but this is an S4 drug here in Australia and can only be obtained under prescription. It seems ridiculous that I have to take a fish to the vet to get...

Thanks Dave,
He was in there with another fish i brought on the same day from another shop but i have since sepearted them and changed the water 50% again. He isnt eating at all, not even live brine...

Hi all,
Really need some help please. New discus, young adult that i got 2 days ago. He was a little quiet yesterday but this evening when i came home, he was head standing at the bottom of the...

Thanks so much Ghoti, great info and advice.

The three ohase filter is now on the garden tap and i brought the 200L water holding tank home this afternoon. Its one of those Food grade olive...

Anyone know of any discus breeders in SA please?
Thanks :)

Excellent hooked, thanks so much! I just messages the person who placed the advert you linked to to see if I could get one.
Thanks so much!
:P

Thanks Merilyn and Dave.
Yep, sometimes I have been using the hot tap to regulate the temperature so I'll stop doing that from here on in. However, that means the water would be cold when replaced...

Yep that's what I figured so I've been adding Prime anyway, just in case. I use this tap for the quarantine and little tanks with a bucket to fill. Given I have the big 700L tank too, I'm just...

Oh, while if think of it... The wheelie bin I buy, should I try and find something made of any particular plastic. In other words, will the plastic from an ordinary wheelie bin release any toxins...

Right, gotcha. Yep I figured the goi uphill bit wouLd be a problem. :) seems to define the laws of gravity, chuckle.

Ok, so a pump it is then. I will need darling husband to work out how to get...

I've been pondering your suggestions and trying to work out how to do this. How does this sound?

1. Inline filter on the outside tap (which is being plumbed in tomorrow) and then use that filtered...

Hi folks and thanks for those thoughts. I recognise that aged water would probably be helpful but The logistics of having aged water and then pumping it into the tank is an utter nightmare where I...

I know we're supposed to do regular big water changes and I know why but I'm having problems every time I do even a 25% water change in my 700L. The discus spend 24 hours not eating and laying on...

Hi all, I have a HiFlow inline water filter on my kitchen sink. I have contacted the company to ask them if the filter removes chlorine and they say it does. Does anyone know if this filtered water...

Yes please if I may? I'm in Flagstaff Hill and happy to come and pick him up whenever it suits you. I promise he will be well cared for with my other discus. Happy to provide any info to you so you...

beautiful fish!
:)

Thanks Hooked, that is really helpful :)

Hi folks all, I have confused myself and need to get back to basics with your help please. What is the ideal daily/weekly menu for discus in a community tank? I think I need some baby step...

I have a peppermint bristlenose, a royal whip tail and clown loaches in with the discus in my 6ft tank and everyone gets on really well. There's even a very placid female angel who schools with my...

Thanks so much for that, very much appreciated. I'll stay strong and get them onto a more varied diet that nucleus the pellets.
The cucumber and courgette and pumpkin are really for the peppermint...

Thanks Ghoti. That won't harm them at all? I know discus can be absolute naughtiest for not eating and I'm a bit worried.

Hi folks all, my 7 juvenile discus (in a 6ft tank) have become so used to having fresh worms, defrosted shrimp, defrosted beef heart, defrosted worms that they refuse dried food. I have some spectrum...

Loving that new setup!
