    Water Parameter

    Easy-to-Understand Water Parameters for Discus Fish

    • 🌡️ Temperature: Keep it warm, around 82–88°F (28–31°C). They love tropical vibes!
    • 🧪 pH Level: Slightly acidic water is best, between 6.0–7.0.
    • 💧 Water Hardness: Soft water is ideal, aim for 1–8 dGH.
    • 🚫 Ammonia and Nitrites: Both should always be at 0 ppm. These are toxic to your fish.
    • ✅ Nitrates: Keep it low, below 20 ppm. Regular water changes help with this.
    • 🔄 Water Changes: Do a 25–50% water change every week to keep their home fresh and clean.
    • 🌀 Filtration: Use a good filter to keep the water crystal clear and healthy.
    • 🌬️ Oxygen Levels: Make sure the water is well-oxygenated with good surface movement.
    • 🐟 Tank Size: They need space to swim. A 55-gallon tank is the minimum for a group of 5–6.
    • 💡 Lighting: Go for soft, low-to-moderate lighting to make them feel at home.
    • 🪨 Substrate: Use soft sand or smooth gravel—no sharp edges!
    • 🌿 Plants: Add live plants for a natural feel and to help keep the water clean.

    Discus are picky but worth the effort—just keep their water clean and cozy!

    Direction

    How to Acclimate Discus Fish - Step by Step 🐠

    Prepare the Aquarium 🛠️
    Set up a clean, fully cycled tank with the correct water parameters: temperature (82-86°F), pH (6.0-7.5), and soft water. Turn off tank lights to reduce stress.

    Float the Bag 🌡️
    Place the sealed bag with the discus in the tank for 15-20 minutes to match the temperature.

    Open the Bag ✂️
    Gently open the bag and roll down its edges to let it float. Add a small amount of tank water (about 1 cup) into the bag every 5-10 minutes.

    Repeat Gradual Water Mixing 💧
    Continue adding tank water to the bag in small amounts for 30-60 minutes. This helps the discus adjust to water chemistry differences.

    Release the Fish 🐟
    Use a net to transfer the discus from the bag to the tank. Avoid adding bag water into your aquarium to prevent contamination.

    Observe and Monitor 👀
    Watch the discus closely for signs of stress. Allow them to settle for a few hours before feeding.

    Maintain a Calm Environment 🕊️
    Keep the lights dim and minimize noise or movement around the tank for the first day.

    By following these steps, your discus fish will settle smoothly and thrive in their new home! 🌿
