Will quality be compromised?

[tiger]

Hi,
Like to ask a qn here and hope the guru can help me out.
If I will to get a batch of good quality 3" size, round with high fin, high body, probably the breeder is doing 200% daily wc, but I only doing a twice weekly wc subsequently after purchasing them. Will the discus quality slowly deteriote then, meanly going rocket shaped? tks

Hi, anyone can drop a pointer pls.

I think the fish will get use to you way, as long as the water condition is good.

For better growth on juveniles you should keep tank and filter clean and change water everyday. Discus "get used" to poor tank conditions by not growing.

You don't have to do 200 percent everyday but 30 to 50 percent daily is good.

Often times those breeders that are doing 200% daily water changes do so because their tanks are packed head to tail with fish resulting in a massive bioload. For a tank that is not over-stocked 50% water changes are usually fine.
