HOW TO : FIX STUNTED DISCUS !?

Heres my tips on growing nice discus or making them regain vitality and good shape.
FIY; keep your temperate around 82-86 F
and if you switch them to dry food, they like flakes and granules from the brand Tropical from santarem discus :)

Hi! Great video which contains lots of very useful information how to keep this wonderful fish. I am little bit struggling with my discus tank so this particular video gave me significant advice. Thank you!

[ReefBuildersVideo]

great video topic, I haven't heard anyone discuss Discus stunting in far too long, and I use this example for other high bodied fish

Nice tank and setup. You said discus don't like a lot of minerals in their water. I agree with this and I wish more hobbyists did. Would help a lot I think. I'll sub for your discus vids!👍🐠🐠🐠🐠💯

Hands down you have outdone yourself on this video I’ll been a fan for years and I know how far you came with discus from the ones your lost so keep up the great work 👍🏾

I got something good from your explanation on discus. Thank you 🙏

What do you usually feed them? Mine are picky eaters, not eating the bhm, tried adding garlic guard.

Would you separate out a single stunted fish for extra care/growth, then reintroduce?

I'm keeping my discus for 2 full on years now, yes they are pain in a** but once you have found the secret of your water parameters bang on! In fact my discus bred in hard water with 150dGH !!!

Great information that I can start applying to my discus tank today!

i have bred discus myself for few years and here's my valuable advice to all of the viewers:


- First and foremost, do your level best to keep the water clean or in other words, minimize ammonia and other pollutants (use a good quality filter). This will maintain your fishes' appetite. You only need to do a 10-15% water change once every 2 days. i use bare tank.
- feed high quality granules if you think beefheart is too much work (Otohime is my top recommendation - 55-60% protein). In addition, you could do top dressing by spraying your granules with high quality vitamins. I go to extra length to ensure my pellets are wet with my own vitamin mixture and let it sit in the fridge for a few days where they will eventually dry up.
- condition your fishes on granules when they reach 2-2.5cm (start with 500-650 microns and increase to 700-850 microns when they are 3cm and above. 1-1.5mm for adults depending on size.
- i suggest feeding minimum 3 times a day - 7.30am / 1.30pm / 6.30pm. Lights out 2 hrs after last meal to allow your fish to properly digest the food. A very successful breeder shared this with me.
- treat your fishes regularly for internal and external parasites. I do this once every mth and my fishes are fine so far.

Although i am not a professional, i hope this helps. It may or may not work for you.


Cheers

Carbon does not reduce nitrate level. But anion base resin can remove nitrate.

Where can i get the filters you described? Thx in advance

Izabella, I recently did a Hikari PraziPro treatment on our 75g planted community tank. We (added in the last 5weeks) 6 discus fries from 1.25" to 2.75" in the tank that I suspected of having parasites/worms. One of the discus, have become extremely stunted and has not eaten in over a week. I usually feed 4x daily with a combination of beefheart mix, freeze dried bloodworms and flakes, but he refuses to take anything. 3 of the 6 passed worms the first 2 days and are doing quite well with the treatment. I'm at a loss with what to do with the stunted discus...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! TIA
