Agree with swarendu, they seem to be doing great. Especially from their bellies/fins and color tone.
Full marks to you Hamza. |

Nice fish Hamza!
I recommend you start storing water. Starting to smell a bit of chlorine in the water.  |

Hamza ,
Discus looks much settled in the tank now . Follow the below .
1) Do regular WC .
2) Keep your tank clean
3) No live fresh water aquatic animals like tubiflex or Bloodworms .
4)If you are using water directly from tap , pl ensure you are taking care of Chlorine . During rainy season sometimes more Cl is added in water . After WC if discus comes to the surface and breathing fast with gills open it’s an indication of Chlorine poisoning. In such case put extra dose of Sodium Thiosulphate and increase the aeration.
5)Try to feed metro mix BHM once in every two or three months . complete their 12 days Metro feed course .
Thanks |
