Hi I wanted to ask you, I am starting a 110 gal tank and trying to establish and cycle it, I added 4 guppies. When my tank is etablished I want to put discus and get rid of the guppies. Do you think that is ok to do?

[@FwrapperAqua]

See Guppies carry a lot of parasites.. Which will remain in the tank.. And will effect your Discus... Best is to use products like seachem stability or api quick start (these 2 are good} .. cycling the tank

Hi, Great video. I have a black background planted aquarium (75 gallon) and white sand substrate. Will the black background cause peppering. Should I change it? I am thinking about getting 2 each of blue diamonds, deep red turquoise, rafflesia. Will these be okay?

[@FwrapperAqua]

Black background might call issues When you start up fresh...

[@ajinkyachilwe8649]

Fwrapper Aqua Thanks for the reply U have a black background tank in the video and I can’t see any peppering on your fish. How do you do it?

[@FwrapperAqua]

Like I said.. Once you're fishes are used to you and your setup peppering will not happen... These fishes are with me since 2 years plus... So they are completely comfortable... But when they are new and if you put them in a dark background.. They will feel stressed

[@ajinkyachilwe8649]

Okay. Thanks for helping. Btw love your planted tank in the back.

[@libran114]

Can i make use of continuous water change system (Drip Water) to maintain water freshness.

[@FwrapperAqua]

If you have that much of water you can... But weekly 2 water changes are more than enough.. In drip system there is lot of water wasted.. If you can use it for plants and all then OK

Hi Rahul.. how frequent do we need to siphon the tank..??

[@FwrapperAqua]

My Discus tanks are all bare bottom.. So I siphon out the waste everyday .. And 30 % water change once in 3 to 4 days

[@FrontierOne]

Hi Rahul. Could you please let me know what pH do you keep your discus in, how do you decrease the pH as I have pH of 8.2 after aging the water and how do you avoid pH swings while water changes. Thanks in advance.

[@FwrapperAqua]

Ideally 6.5 to 7.5 is good pH... I currently use a ro unit... You can try almond leafs... I don't recommend the pH reduction products because the pH will keep changing which very harmful for fish

When we are purchasing any fish, if we are not sure about how they were kept or their diet can we use epsom salt treatment to clear their system?

If you are not sure of that I recommend not to buy from that seller.... See you should understand one thing a fish will eat only what it has been eating for a long time... A full meat eating fish does not know Pellets is also food... Please understand that... So please check what the fish has been eating... Simply forcing a fish to eat something and simply doing treatment will never help.. You will put the fish in more stress...
