  1. In a few years ago I was looking for the PP. Also I was looking for internet which stores do carry the PP.

    My LFS are do not know about that. They had never carry the PP.

    My location Pharmacy stores said that the PP is old fashion. PP is good for kill fugal feet or toes so they do not carry the PP anymore.

    That is a good idea I will check with my water treatment supplies sellers.

    Call around to any ones in your area, anywhere with a pharmacy. You can also try places that sell water treatment supplies in your area. You might be to get a lead at your LFS also.

  2. If you have a larger discus around 6" + alone live with angelfish and other fish are fine.

    If you have a smaller less than 3" live with angelfish and other fish are not good idea.

    If your caster filter have carbon, I suggest you should remove carbon because the carbon collect vitamins, water minerinals, etc are not good for discus and other fish. My suggest you can use carbon for after water change and run for 4 to 6 hours , you need to remove the carbon into a zipper bag, you will use it again in the future.

    Can you tell me desperation about anchor worm? Maybe Tapeworm? or other type of worms?

    If discus stomach are too thin, or poop are not darker, If poop are white or clear It is meaning infection stomach, you need to treatment metronidazole as fenbendazole first day 500 mg per 10 gal, Second day 250 mg per 10 gal, third day 250 mg per 10 gal, 4th day to do water change at 50% add 250 mg metronidazole as fenbendazole 5th day 250 mg per gal 6 days 250 mg per 10 gal 7 days 50% water change add 250 mg metronidazole as fenbendazole , you can use 1000 mg metronidazole or fenbendazole per 100 G bloodworms, mix and put into freeze. Give them med with food if discus eats little bit, it s good sign. if discus does not eat, try treatment med for one more week. If discus do not eat. It s not worth it. bec it s too far. if discus does not eat a lot and med right away, it will recovery. You need add vitamins with food and feed your fish once a day every 3 rd day.

    Also med with food to feed health fish are very good.

    Hope the Help.

  4. Hi Everyone,

    I have been reading alot about breeding Discus Fish and i am getting mixed openions. So please experts in Alberta I need you openion. I live in Calgary as you know the water is hard. so my question is

    1. Do eggs of Discus Hatch in Calgary water?

    2. Do I need RO water?

    3. Is there a place or websiter for RO unit you recomend? (if I need it)

    Thank you

    Nab

    you need to find out your water test and give us info about your water.

    Hard water for discus are excellent for growing. but it would not great for breed.

    Soft water for discus breed as apistogramma, blue rams, angelfish, etc.... less than 3 GH/KH less than 200 uS conductivity and less than 120 ppm TDS. Ph does not matter.

    Hope the help.
