Discus Water Tempreture

[africandiscus]

Would like to hear what tempreture your discus tank is?

I was at a mates house on the weekend and his tank was 33c and he said his fish dont stop breeding.

I keep my tank at 30c

[flukes]

About 29-30c i keep mine at 29 and raise to about 31-32 when medicating.
Normally the hotter temps increase their apeitite.

30C

[Trebs]

I think 27-28C, all my themometers are covered in algae...

[BGK]

i keep mine in 28-29C

[parasite]

30C

[Mattzilla]

29-30 deg

a few deg higher when medicating

[D.J]

29 - 30 deg.
i used to put it on 31, but after having 2 of my rumy noses bloated, I put it down to about 29.5

29-30

29-30

[weird]

28-30, about 28 if I have other fish like neons, otos etc.

[aza]

30 higher if medicating

I keep it at 29...Only doing quarantine and during usage of Metro/Flagyl I increase to 32...
Reason...basically these medicines are designed for Human consumption and give best results at higher temparatures...so you need to raise the temparature during medication with Metro...
Bye,

Also helps their metabolisim.

hence the reason we save higher temps for when fish are sick

it means we can up the temp and have a good result
