Yellow Ghost Discus are one of the most stunning and rewarding species to keep in a freshwater aquarium. Their vibrant colors, graceful movements, and complex social behaviors make them a centerpiece of any tank. Discus is a more difficult species to keep due to the water parameters they need to be kept in; they are highly sensitive to water quality, so maintaining pristine conditions is crucial. Regular water changes of 25-50% weekly is recommended to keep ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels in check. A well-established biological filtration system is essential. Provide an aquarium with driftwood, tall plants, and open swimming areas. The tank should mimic their natural habitat with subdued lighting and soft, acidic water. To feed, provide a varied diet of black worms, blood worms and discus pellets. Suitable tankmates include other peaceful, slow-moving species that thrive in warm, soft water. Avoid fast or aggressive species that might outcompete Discus for food or cause stress.

Hi I recently got six fish and four of them are good but two of them which are the same type of fish haven't eaten anything ever since I got them I don't know if it's the food. And one seems lost and keeps bumping into the tank and they usually stay in one place and one of its eyes are turning black. They are the black ones in the photos. Thank you

We recently had two 5+ yr old plecos, 2 5+ yr old glofish, and a year old koi get cloudy eyes suddenly. 9 hrs later the plecos and koi died while 1 glofish died 2 days later and the other is alive, but not doing well. The plecos also had sunken eyes and heavy flaking and were trembling like they were in pain. There are other unaffected fish in the tank, but some new fish died after only a day in there. The pH is normal, so what could have caused this?
I've recently just purchased a fancy black gold fish and this white looking fish. The white fish looks as if it is pecking at the black gold fish and now it looks like my black gold fish is white. Exactly we're the white fish is sucking at. What's going on
