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.

How to increase colour deep red and yellow citation of red blood parrot fish and yellow parrot fish ? And how far shyness of red blood parrot fish ?
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?
My goldfish appears bloated
what is the best way to control the ph in a discus tank?
I have three glo fishes in my tank. Two of them appear to be very bloated. Not only is one of them more bloated than the other, but it is also losing some of its color in the lower part of its body and it has a rough look as if its scales were starting to shed. Last week the fish appeared to be excluding itself from the others, but I noticed now that it has been starting to eat and play around more. I read it online that this may be a fatal bloating bacteria but I just wanted to be sure. Thanks!
