Thanks alot and thanks for helping me while you are at work.
This forum is awesome!
Update: Slime coat and fins are recovering. The only thing that is worrying me a small spot. I dont know if is a piece of the slime coat or something else.

Also the fish haven't ate anything since I put them in the tank. I am giving them a little bit of bloodworms and they ignore it.
That is better than nothing. Keep doing what you are doing. If I were you, I would remove the substrate you currently have. However, if you choose to do this, you will have to do it in a certain fashion. If you decide to do it, shoot me a pm and I will tell you how to properly do it.

So this is my first discus and after reading little I'm still a bit sketchy on the eye thing. Plus I would like to know what strain of snakeskin this is, as it came from the LFS. Thank you for the help.
That might work but it's the gravel that creates the real problem of cleaning the tank. Here is a suggestion. I have a BBT(bare bottom tank) but I like the advantages of plants such as Nitrite disposal and oxygenation of the water plus they give your tank a deeper look! Get 1 or 2 peices of driftwood the kind with slate on the bottom to hold it down. Now get some Java Moss and Java Fern using plastic fishing line tie your Java plants to the drift wood! It will grow and propagate on the drift wood. It has low light and trace element requirments and and grows rather fast! In about 4 weeks you can remove the fishing line and the plants will continue to grow on the drift wood.
So who says you can't have plants and a bare bottom too! ;D[/QUOTE]
Very nice idea. I am also considering keeping floati g plants which are proven ammonia and nitrates feeders
I was referring to floating plants, thus keeping bottom bare as well as reducing nitrates
This thread is old but I agree with you about the gravel. It's way hard to keep clean enough for Discus.
Thank you, I need that information. Now I will definitely choose healthy discus.
Great info Beta. Never saw this anywhere before.
Looking forward for more tips.
