Who Gives A Fish Forums

Harlequin Rasboras are underrated. That orange triangle on their sides? Chef's kiss. I've got 15 in my 60-gallon, temp at 85°F, and they school like they're in a music video.

Mine's tiny too, but I wanna frag it so bad. Gonna try feeding it more reef roids, see if that speeds things up. Heard they like dirty water, is that true?

My tap's clean but nitrates still high. Gonna try them floaters like Dkade said. Heard water lettuce works good.

I'm new to Discus but my LFS recommended the Oase Biomaster Thermo 600. It's got a built-in heater, which saves space, and the pre-filter is super easy to clean. My 60 gallon's got sand, some anubias, and 5 young Discus. Water changes twice a week, 25%. So far, so good.

Yep, canisters can be brutal. I switched to a sponge and never looked back. Also, try feeding 'em near the front for a few days. Might help teh fish associate you with food instead of hiding. Works like a charm for shy fish.

Hey, my discus did the same thing when I first got them. Turns out they just needed time to chill. How long you had yours? If it's recent, they might still be adjusting. Also, check if the filter flow's too strong. Mine hated the current at first.
