Temperature.

[flukes]

I was wondering how much a part of healthy fish keeping is due to temperature. The reason i ask is because the first time i thought my fish had flukes i raised the temp to 32c. And ever since the temp has been no lower than 30c and mostly on 31c. I think that at this temperature the discsu were getting sick, and when i read up on symptoms for pop eye high temperatures and too much aeration was one of the reasons. So as soon as i lowered the temp and turned down the air supply he seems to be ok. The temp now is 29-30c and they seem happy. Also now iam doing daily water changes,

29 Degrees Celsius = 84 Degrees Farenheit
30 Degrees Celsius = 86 Degrees Farenheit
31 Degrees Celsius = 88 Degrees Farenheit
32 Degrees Celsius = 90 Degrees Farenheit

Tempature plays a big role in their happiness. They are really comfortable in 85-86 Degrees Farenheit which is = to 29-30 Degrees Celsius.

So, it looks as if you finally have it pegged for the temp, and daily water changes are awesome, they will love you for it. Just keep in mind, the more frequent the changes, the less water that needs to be replaced.
