The stendkers have settled in nicely now the first day they were very scatty hitting the tank both ends every time we moved. The first water change i did was a nightmare but they are slowly getting used to the new surroundings. May take a while before they trust me but they will as i remeber the first 8 discus i bought were like this for a week or so. I have changed my water parameters to suite these discus. I have got the tds up to 250 ppm and ph is now 7.5 as i was told that these german discus grow quicker in harder water. I don't like the ph that high but its the only way i can get the hardness up. I don't want to start adding acids and chemicals i was told the ph does'nt matter with these discus as they are easier to keep. But as soon as they have grown an inch bigger i will get back to my normal routine. I feel better when i have low ph and softer water.
