FISH MOVED

Well 6 of my smaller discus are now in the second tank i put them in at 10.30 am today. They were out and eating within 10 min's well pleased was getting fed up with looking at empty tank. Both tanks are at Nitrate=10ppm Nitrite=0 amonia=0 PH 6.9 KH 3 GH7 At 30c 86f. I also got my TDS meter today that reads 270ppm. so all looks good.

MEDICATION

Today is day 10 of medacation for my discus one of them was going black and letting the others peck his side. I was told this was parasites so i have been treating with sterazin course finishes today the effected fish seems better now he/she is eating better aswell also have been treating for worms just incase. Now going to do 50% water change. Well did water change and found the nitrate is still 40ppm so doing another one tomorrow. I think i might put 6 of the smaller fish in the other tank tomorrow as it is now stable PH6.9 KH4 GH7 All looking good.

THIS IS THE TWO TANKS BOTH JUWEL RIO 400'S






OK this is the two tanks side by side. They are both identical they both have eheim 2327 wet & dry filter's + eheim 2222 externals. They both have plenty of bog wood and the water is identical in each hoping to put discus in the other tank next weekend if all goes well and the PH stays stable. I use an R/O for my water plus some treated tap water & trace elements.
