Ryan, nice fish. Keep it well fed and the water clean to keep the nice shape.

okay this is my roundest one. I bought all these fish for 15 bucks exept for the first one. It shows that they are only 15 dollar fish though bad shape. I dont care much about shape though i chose for colours.

okay bad pic but i wanted to post anyway. He has a round body but the fins ar clamped back he was swiming when i took this pic. I will try again tomorrow

Forgot to add all these fish are raised in tap water aged for 24 hours heated to the correct temperature then a W/C is done. By the time it has been bubbled (aged) then heated then me getting around to doing it it s a 48 hour process.

When I raised discus, I changed 90% of the water in 7 tanks daily

The ease of a reef after that was nice and relaxing.

I also changed twice a week with ro/di water when I had Gan Discus.

so decent mecanical filtration isnt enough for discus? or are you changing this much water for breeding purposes?
