How many fish are in tanks?

How often do you feed?

As much water as you can change most are doing around the 90%

its not an easy answer, Im assuming that your talking about younger Discus less than four inches. If thats the case then raising them in a 120 would be hard because the amount of water you need to change to get good growth. I would transfer your smaller discus in your 55 and make it bare bottom and change as much as can preferably everyday but you don't want to burn yourself either. You also need a good diet for them..........Josie
