Assalamu Alykum & Hello everybody,:D
Hope you all are fine. My name is Shibly. I am from Dhaka, Bangladesh. Although I have been keeping fish for around 15 years, I believe my fascination starts since last couple of years as soon as concentrate on Discus. Presently 90 discus(s) & few other tiger shark, red tail shark, parrot, silver dollar, are living with us.
Presently, I have 5 tanks. One 180G for adult Discus, 120G for juvenile Discus, two 120G is planning for breeding and one small 50G for community and a small Jar with few guppies. My Discus fish tanks are bare bottom. I am using 30G sump for each discus tank. I usually do water change every other morning or night just after feeding a heavy meal (BH). I provide them food six times a day. As I said Heavy meal at morning & night and other four time small amount of pallet mixture. I always keep temp stable using two auto heater at each discus tank as well as using a digital temp monitoring controller (rKc) with audio & visual alarm. Two thing I am really feeling helpless.
One is about PH level which is always 6.8 to 7.6 stable. My fishes seems become fit with these. I do use direct tap water. As I water change daily basis, I am confused how I can lower my PH level. My goal is to breeding and I believe PH will become a big FACT for me. My family is also waiting to see pair forming/breeding with a lot of hope.
Second one is medicine. In my country medicine for discus is not much available. I have to work with dip salt bath, Flagyl (metronidazole) & RENAMYCIN (Oxytetracycline).
I believe it will become very easy with all of your cooperation. Looking for your support in this regards.
Take care. ;)
