Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'd try adding some epsom salt to the tank. Just a teaspoon per 10 gallons. It can help with bloating and isn't too harsh on the fish.

I prefer bare bottom for my Discus. It's simpler to keep clean, and I can see if there's any uneaten food or waste. My tank is 65 gallons with a canister filter and a powerhead for extra flow. Water changes are easier too.
