Re: can discus thrive in hard water?

Hard water's sketchy for 'em long-term. I lost a few before switching to RO. Now I mix 50/50 with tap, TDS around 200. Tank's 65 gallons, sand bottom, with a pair of Eheim 2217s. Feed 'em frozen bloodworms and pellets twice a day.

Re: why discus stop eating pellets?


Mine did the same thing last month. Turns out they were just bored. I started mixing in frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp, now they're back to eating pellets too. Maybe yours just need some variety, ya know?

Seconding swiftly on the beef heart. My discus went from meh to mega after switching. Mix in some garlic guard to boost their immune system. Temp's at 86°F, and they're crushing it. Tank's a 75 gallon with canister filtration, and I'm lazy with water changes, but they're still thriving.

Re: ideal temp for discus comfort

Yo, 84°F is chill but bump it to 86°F if they're hiding. My crew perks up when it's toastier. Got a 100 gallon with blackwater setup, almond leaves, the whole vibe. They're paired with rummynose tetras, which dig the heat too. Just don't let the temp yo-yo, or they'll get sketchy.

I'm looking for a reliable breeder in Hungary who can provide me with a nice team of fish. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone local who breeds high-quality fish. I've considered reaching out to breeders from neighboring countries like Bulgaria, Serbia, or Romania - they might have some good ...
