How long can juvi discus live without food?

sorry to hear that dan , it is a good idea to still med the tank . there is a chance that if one of the fish had worms the others will too .not allways but to be on the safe side do it . well mate good luck with it all . just remember we all loss fish from time to time so hang in there don t let it put you off .

Hey sorry to hear that dan,are the other two eating yet?

Yeah try and octozin i helped with my guys when they had the same problem but my advice is never buy discus unless they are coming up to the glass looking at you cause this usually happens

But good luck with the other two hope they work out for you and enjoy!

Cheers scott and jono!

He will hold a special place in my heart cause hes my first discus to die

The other 2 i haven't noticed eat yet but they seem to have warmed up nicely and look well adjusted to the tank so i'm gonna try again tommorow and i'm confident they should eat.

It was just clampy that i was mainly concerned about.

I got these guys delivered to my house a few others got them as well.
So if they are reading this they might wana treat their discus as well becuase its from the same bunch and if mine had it the rest could have as well.

Hopefully it was just mine tho. Clampy took a hit for the team

Thanks
Dan

very sorry about your fish


hey mcloughlin2 5000 or 10000l p/h doesnt make any diference the
volume of your filter is the point but you should know that i guess.
my filters are 10% of the volume of the tank and have a medium flow means 2-3 time the volume of the tank.

Hey Thanks Michael.

Hey all

Update:

Bought live brine shrimp.

The 2 seem kinda timid now, probably because there are only 2 but i can't get anymore atm. until i settle things down and they are given the all ok plus i don't have the finances atm.

when I first put the brine shrimp in there the guppies started eating them so took them out. After sitting there for awhile watching the 2 discus cower behind the filter one came out slightly and had a go at the brineshrimp SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!

I didnt' see the other one eat any but i didnt' stay long i think they prefer it when i don't watch them.

So now the challenge is to get them to eat what i actually bought for them to eat.

And just a small question while i'm at it. What are discus faeces meant to look like?

I bought the brine shrimp from seaview and they said they'll be gettin live i think it was black worms on friday and they said discus love them so i'm gonna go spoil them and get that on friday.

Thanks
Dan

treat them with octozin and they will start eating again. better not to feed any live food except brine shrimp.
