Discus Fish Care

Discus Fish Care

The first information a discus fish breeder needs in his or her quest
to raise healthy discus is the fact that discus is a super sensitive creature.
What environment you breed your exotic discus matters quite some.
Discus fish loves deep water therefore, the aquarium must be built to meet
this requirement. In general, discus fish care demands nothing
extraordinary so long as the correct and healthy living water parameters
are met.

Weekly water change is not negotiable. But as mentioned earlier, discus
is supersensitive and doesn’t like changes.
How does one go around creating change for a creature that loathes
change?
Easy. Freshen only 25% of the tank volume.
For extra discus fish care use a filter that eliminates the heavy metals
and chlorine without altering the water pH.

Do you feed your discus fish with beef-heart?
This means there must be leftovers that would ruin the water
if left. Clear them.

For baby discus, the care is much more because they are fed more regularly
and crumps get the water dirtied more. Special discus fish care is required
here. Freshen about 30% of the water in the tank 3 times a week.
Mention should be made here that baby discus should be raised
without plants and decorations to minimize dirt in the tank.

But should you notice the unusual, call a vet or a professional
breeder to keep the issues under check.

With the right advice, keeping discus fish can be fun and rewarding, so ensure you check out the book.
