Hamza, beware with Tetrabits for blue discus. It can turn your blue discus to purplish ones.
Discus bio gold is good. You can also go for Sera Blue or else if you are not bothered for massive WC and animal heart, go for homemade BHM/GHM.

Thanks for this info,,, albeit indirectly,,,, I was wondering what was wrong with my Blue Discus,,,Will change the food a bit now. Thanks again :-) |

I hope, everything is fine with the little ones. |

thanks a lot and sorry for the delay in updates
yes its been a week since i got them and they still settling down...they dont go crazy like they used to but still like to stay behind the sponge filter.am planning to get some cardinals and act like dither fish so they feel a bit more comfortable.they do prefer beef to discus bio gold.
feeding them twice beef and twice discus bio gold and doing 50 percent daily water change..
the big news however is with the main 7 foot tank.have redone it completely and ill let the pics decide which looks better...
and the other thing..i might not put the blue diamonds in here..instead may have two discus tank this one with brows and the blue diamonds in another
do let me know what you think about the tank

Beautiful setup and very natural.
I have never kept discus, so I am curious to know the reason behind 50% daily water change (I know that discus prefers clean water but isn't 50% daily a bit too aggressive). Also how do you ensure low PH ?
Thanks
