Colu In response to your question. Yes, I buy my discus and put them in a 10 gallon tank and its located in another room. I have been using ParaGuard, Salt ( which I don't believe I was applying it properly ), also using Microbe-Lift ( Herbtana & Artemiss ) and some other meds which I don't remember the name at this moment. I usually keep them in the 10 gallon tank for about 30 days before I put them into the 180 gallon tank. I want to thank everyone for their support. You guys have been a Blessing.

Thank you so much GeorgeD 🙂 Yes, it help a lot. It explains a lot of the issues and it make sense to me. I see I am doing a lot of the thing wrong. Water changes, meds, and air stone which I have a lot in my tank. This means a lot to me GeorgeD, because I had no one to reach out to ask questions and when you go to blogs you get all shorts of different suggestions. I am a disable Army Veteran dealing with some Mental Health issues, and I love discus fish. They are so beautiful and believe it or not. When I had my tank full of discus, they have gotten me through some tough times. Enjoying taking care of them and not dwelling on my issues. It was very depressing watching them died and no matter what I did it didn't work. I'm going to follow your instructions to the tee. I will keep you up to date of my progress.

I have not purchase any new fish lately. It's been about seven months since my last discus purchase. I don't have any snails. Yes, I purchase all my discus from the same supplier.

Sorry for the delay response. I have been feeding them Omega One Flakes - Cobalt Spirulina Flacks, Frozen Braine Shrimp - Bio-Encapsulated Multi-Vitamins Brine Shrimp - Omega One Discus Pellets - Hex-Shield sinking pellets. and Krill I feed them three time a day. I change the food around so I am not feeding then the same food everyday.

Please Help! I have 5 discus fish in a 180 gallon tank. I started with 13 and have been losing them over a period of time. I can't seen to figure out why. This is the latest one. Yesterday everything was fine. This morning I have one discus that is floating around as he is ready to die. Below is todays water test Nitrate (NO2) 0 ppm Nitrate (NO3) 0 ppm Ammonia (NH3/NH4) 0 PH 7.6 High Range PH 7.4 KH 11 Water Temp 82 I do a 40 to 50% water change every week. The discus seems Any support would be apricated.
