To grow your Discus
1. Too many WC (I do 2X a week 100%) the more the better
2. Planted tank is not preferable but it can be done
3. Good food

i'm doing grow in 140 planted.

i wish i did it in bare bottom. if you have room, setup bare bottom. these things eat as much as i feed them and that = foul water

otherwise, feed a lot of good food and keep water fresh

they do not like nitrates over 20 ime

there is a lot of info on this board, check out the beginner forum

for such huge amount of water change how do i prepare the water. i use ro water 1 part and mix with 3 part tap water and replace with aquarium water

How hard is your water? my water is hard but I don't use RO and I don't age the water.
use RO water only if you want to bread on a smaller tank. but display tank, take directly from the tab

others might have different opinions but this works for me
