Who Gives A Fish Forums

How's the lighting? Bright lights can stress Discus, make 'em skittish and prone to damage. I run mine on a dimmer schedule, mostly mid-day peaks.

How's their appetite? Stressed or sick Discus often go off food. If they're eating well, that's a good sign it's not serious. Also, any redness or inflammation at the base of the fins?

To put it simple, and that is the way my mind works, Discus love WCs.
I kept them in the 70s and they are no different these days.
The more WCs you do, the happier they are.
