The discus juveniles I got from April a month ago are growing and flourishing.

I am maybe going away Thursday, back Friday. I have done w/c daily of 50%, sometimes more. Feeding is not a problem between the Eheim and my son can feed the bloodworms and beefheart when he gets home.

They are in a 65 gallon with lots of filtration (2 sponge filters and a AC 70).

Will they be okay if missing a water change?:confused:

They will be fine if you leave them with clean water, clean tank and filter. They will be glad to see ya when you get back ;) .

They will be alright but make sure your son does a wc after he feeds bf.

If just bloodworms and pellets are fed, that should be okay with skipping a day? I know beefheart is really messy as I do water changes after feeding that. The others are cleaner so should not be a problem?

Thanks you two. :)

As long as you don't feed a lot of BW and pellets just enough to where they eat it all they should be fine.
