Re: ammonia spikes in discus tank fix
What's your water change routine? If you're only doing 50% weekly, try splitting it into two 25% changes. More frequent smaller changes can stabilize things better.

Re: preventing stress in discus fish
Agree with mole and julian. Another thing: how often do you rearrange decor? Discus like stability. I only move stuff during deep cleans, maybe once a month. Also, try adding some dither fish like Cardinals—they help shy Discus feel safer. My group perked up after adding 10 of 'em.

Re: my discus has a bloated belly
If it's eggs, you might see her cleaning a flat surface soon. Mine always go for the driftwood or broad leaves. Good luck, hope it's nothing serious.

Re: my discus has a bloated belly
Yep, agree with Goldie. Also, what's the pH and hardness? Discus can be picky about water chemistry. If it's too hard, they might stress and bloat. My crew chills at 6.5 pH and super soft water, no issues.
