thanks for the comment, i guess i have to pump them up even more with FBW. Still kinda new to heckels so am learning along the way =)
hi i don think FBW is good for pumping . Its not nutritious and i believe u need to deworm if u feed FBW

fbw is the only thing that wont fog the water so much unlike beefheart,feeding both beefheart and fbw will still need deworming.

Thumbs up My elusive Heckels

Hi Bro,

Just a gentle reminder that your filter output flow seem to be too strong which is not good for discus growth. Please used a rainbar or something to reduce the current which will help them adjust to the environment. Must pump them up fast as wild type of fish is difficult to adapt to new environment and food. They will easily consume by internal parasites and disease. Deworm in a smaller tank and introduce back when they have recover will help to ensure their survival.

Wish you have a happy discus keeping journey
