Type here other important information: First of all beside any thing else the water change is important !I do change each day 50% of Water. But finaly only with basicly health Discus from a very clean facility, the Discus lover will have success . With any no perfect bred and hatched Discus where ever their comming from, only problems will be the result! The basic for success with Discus is to bring in only the best one you can get. Only this way is the right one.
