    Default I am still loosing my discus :(

    Hi All,
    I had about 14 discus 2.5 inch.. now only 7 left... I have tried everything.. I don't know what more should be done.. I got a test kit.. All water parameters are fine.. But since a month now I have lost 6.. One more is in a very bad state..
    Tds - 105
    Ph - 7.6
    Ammonia - 0
    Temp - 27-28
    Water change - ever 2 days 40% with aged water... I am using Seachem Prime to remove chlorine.
    Tank size - 42*18*18 inch
    Filter - 2 sponge filters

    I am really worried about these guys.. I don't know what more needs to be done

    What are your nitrite and nitrate readings? How long my have you had them? Do they show any signs of sickness ? Eating, white poop, dark color etc...

    Agree with Ryan925. When my fish were that small I was changing at least 70% every day.

    Where did you get the Juvies from? Where they local raised in local tap water?

    Was the tank cycled or did you cycle the tank with the discus in it?
