Discus Colour

[wes1000]

Hi,

I have only had discus for a little time now (about 1 month).

I am wondering why the discus colour is nearly always dark and a sometimes light. I understand that they do change colour with moods and health.

I live in Wollongong and the Ph here is about 7.6 and i am not adding anything else other than prime and a little fertilizer. I am doing water changes every week.

I am feeding them live blood worm and NLS discus formula

Can i get some advise from you guys as to what to do for the happiness of the discus? Should i try using rain water? Discus trace elements? Lower ph?

Can you post some pics they usually help to diagnose things?

Also how long was your tank set up before adding the discus?

I have just moved. They were in the tank about 1year before we moved thay have been in the tank now at the new house for about 1 month.

I will try to post some picture tonight

What are your water parameters, tank and filtration details, Stock, Maintenance regime, etc.

So far you have given no real information.

Is your substrate black cos that will make them go real dark.
