Day-2
All 6 discus are in the tank and looking healthy, staying in a group huddled together. Just my luck that the lights would blow when i went to turn them on this morning, ill have to try get new bulbs over the weekend.
Did around a 30% water change last night, i would have done more but i didnt have a big enough water storage container at the time, just got a 200 litre (50ish gallon) blue barrel so from now on ill be able to do 80% water changes daily.
Currently looking for a more powerful pump to speed up the water changes.
Anyway back to the discus, tried feeding frozen brine shrimp last night but they kept spitting it out, they are very skittish at the minute but they have only been in the tank for a day so that is to be expected. I siphoned out the brine shrimp and waited 2 hours before offering tetra discus pellets, a few picked at them but they didnt eat much.
Tonight i will see what frozen foods i have and offer them something different (possibly bloodworms, iknow they are not the most nutritious meal but i do want to get them eating), i also have frozen discus mix (not homemade) but when i fed it to my other discus a few years back it made them quite bloated)
Any advice appreciated, thanks
