Any tips on how to change the substrate while fish are in the tank?
Currently only have 1 discus. Wasn't even expecting to get it, but my local supplier had 2 juveniles in stock and I took a shot. Didn't want to buy more than 1 at the time because they arent cheap, and I wanted to make sure I could care for them.
For water changes, Ive been using 5 gallon buckets with tap, aged 24 hours.
Edit- Would love to get another , but my tank size I believe limits me, and I have no way to quarantine them as this is my main tank and I have but a small apartment
