Hi thank you, Yes I wish I can add some mates for him. But the problem is that I live in DR Congo and there is no discus here or even other import fishes. This discus came with a group of 6 other discus from China for a friend of mine and they all died after few weeks. So I decided to save this...

Hello Road master, water temp, should b the same or maybe a little cooler than the tank water but not a lot, like 1 or 2 C°, as water was putted back very slowly it shouldn't affect the fish. I followed your advice by putting dechlorinator for the whole tank quantity. This will kill my budget...

Hi Alto, thanks for your advices. Yesterday I did a 30% WC, I replaced the water very slowly, I putted dechlorinator. fish seems happy after the WC (more active). I will do an other 30% on Friday. cheers
