So use a test kit to determine the presence and concentration of this Chlorine or Chloramine. But this Chlorine is not good for discus fish and the use of chloramine can be disastrous. This Chlorine is routinely added to the water supply in many parts of the world to make the water germfree. You should buy dechlorine medicine which helps you to lower chlorine of your tank. Use that thing and dissolve it as that medicine say. Now a days in any pet shop you can get dechlorinated medicine that helps you to lower chlorine of your tank. Specially we have to take care during rainy season when our tap water is chlorinated!! So my request is to give attention to water that you provide in your discus tank. The primary condition of water is it should be dechlorinated. Power filter for discus tank? Yes why not, make sure that the outlet of power filter is towards back glass of your tank or you can use a spray bar with it.Ģ)Water that you use for your aquarium: : On the chamber of top filter keep good amount of zeolite and inside power filter keep maximum amount of sponge!! Here one question may be asked. Still you can manage this with a top filter and 1 power filter. Now you may say that canister filter is too costly. You can keep good amount of zeolite, active carbon, bio ball, ceramic ring in it.
Even for discus obviously! It holds maximum amount of filter media. Can you do 1 thing? Can you keep a external canister filter for that? This will be the best filter for any kind of set up. So simply don’t do that!! You can do 20% water change in every alternate day. So you do 60% of your work to become a successful discus keeper. But before that I say that you choose proper dimension of tank, proper size of discus. Now come to maintaining part of this tank. After few days you may take challenge to keep 1.5-2 inch discus. Also this size of discus is also easy to keep!!! Because with little care with in few days you’ll be amazed to see that your discus grows 3.5-4 inch! So keep 2.5-3 inch size discus. Many discus experts say that this size of discus grows fastest than any other size.
Why do you choose this size? I say that this is the perfect size for any discus to grow. So your fish size will be at least 2.5-3 inch at least. So for the first time you keep discus and you keep in a sandy tank. Ii) Fish size you’ll choose for this type of tank: So what are those strains!! They are turquoise (blue,red,tiger), leopard, snakeskin, leopard snakeskin, blue diamond, snow white, alenquer, san merah, tefe green… I say that keep those discus which show no peepering or generally will not turn blackish. You may say that discus tank and black background!!! Why not… you say that if we keep discus with a black background then peepering will come. Then I suggest that make a black background for this tank. I) Different types of discus in a sandy tank: Don’t worry, though many discus keepers love to keep discus in a BB tank, but they can be kept in a gravel tank or sandy substrate also. You may say that it looks odd to see some fishes move in a BB tank. If you are a first time discus keeper, then you may not like a bare bottom tank. Here at first i discuss about sandy tank (Tank with sand as substrate) Graveled tank (Tank with gravel as substrate) Sandy tank (Tank with sand as substrate)ģ. There are few types of discus aquarium can be done->Ģ.
So selecting this type of tank we can provide much space for growing. A 3 feet tank is ideal for those 6 (I consider that you keep 4-6 discus for the first time), they can move freely in horizontal direction in this tank and with a height of 18-24 inch we will also provide enough space for moving vertically. what will be ideal tank length? I say that at least 3 feet. So I say you that please buy at least 4-6 discus for the first time. It is generally seen that discus loves to live in a group. You can choose a 18 inch to 24 inch high tank. So at first our goal will be to provide them a high depth tank. Generally discus is a mid-level moving fish. So due to this body shape this fish moves more vertically than horizontally. We know that discus is a round or disc shaped fish. If you choose proper dimension then half of your job is already done. This plays a vital role for discus keeping. Here I write some tips regarding discus keeping for beginners. Many say that it looks great when discus takes food from their master!!! But this can also happen for yours. But trust me, if you do daily 20-30 minutes for them, you can easily keep and successfully maintain those.
#Discus planted tank how to
we can’t do such amount of huge water change, don’t keep them in a bare bottom tank, how to treatment those, how to identify their diseases etc. It’s sad to see that many hobbyists dare to keep discus.
