Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'm new to this, but why 84°F? Is that the ideal temp for breeding? My tank's at 82°F, and I've got a pair that's been hanging out together. Should I bump it up?

Updates...

Tried Epsom salt treatment, but still they're down, and more fries are affected.

Separated them, gave them a PP bath before, they're still eating but again laying down.

Anything else I can try to get them healthy?

Thanks,
Kenny

Re: Discus Fry laying at the bottom of tank

Thanks everyone for your input. I'll start doing heavy water changes daily, and I'll also add Epsom salt to the BBS as Cliff suggested. I'll update you on the status.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions, I really appreciate it.

Thanks Pat

Hi,

I've got a situation with my discus fry - they're about a month old, and I've noticed some of them lying flat at the bottom of the tank.

When I feed them live BBS, they do eat a bit, but then they just go back to lying flat on the tank floor.

My setup is a sponge filter, daily 20-30% water ...
