    When you moved house, did your water parameters change? If you're using tap water, are you on a different municipality from your last house?

    Welcome to SimplyDiscus!,
    Can you post some pictures of the fish with the issues?

    Whats in your Homemade Mix? What else do you feed? You may not even need to add multivitamins but if you want to any should do...I used to use one-a-days mens in my BH mixes when I made it.Any Brand I had on hand.

    Yea my water has changed I'm using ro from my lfs which is half way accross the country so I'm trying to figure out how to get my levels stable, u used fresh prawns, white fish, lamb heart by mistake as I know I need beef heart just couldn't find any, baby spinach, banana, carrot and broccoli, garlic, as well as tetra prima and bloodworm mixed in, I feed them tetra prime, bloodworm , tetra min, none of them are fussy, could you suggest a good brand of pellet and flake?
