I have 3 discus, 2 are about 2 - 2 1/2 inches and 1 at about 3 inches. They are in a 30 gal. gravel bottom planted tank with 4 glo-lites and a cory. No nitrates, nitrites or ammonia and ph is about 7.0 water temp at 85
I do at least a 1/3 of a tank water changes every other day, they all are eating, and compared to when I bought them they have really lightened up (they were a little on the stressed side when I bought them, not correct water) anyway one of my smaller ones seems to be bothering me a little cause he seems to be darker and sometimes seems to be breathing a little harder than the other 2. I have had them all for about 3 weeks and when they came home they went into a very well established tank, from my angel craze, water really stays perfect condition wise with little work. I am not sure if I should treat the tank or him or if he is fine. The 3 incher is a pigeon blood strain I guess, then I have a cobalt (the one in question) and I do not remember what I was told the other one is, he is light blue with red sqigglies and black stripes. Anyway any info would be great, I love watching them and want them to stay healthy. Thanks in advance for any info.:wave:
