All You Need To Know About Fish Health
The health of discus fish has two main concerns: the water and food of discus fish. Less worrying but worth discussing is that you should do a small analysis before placing your discus fish in your aquarium with other species. They may not be very good aquarium enthusiasts, and this can put pressure on your new pet.
Knowing what signs to look out for can be hugely beneficial to discuss fish health for the simple reason that disease treatment is tedious and difficult. It is best to do everything preventive to prevent stress that is causing environmental problems.
When adding medication to the water solves the problem, but it isn’t always the case. The water of your discus fish is like the air we breathe as humans. When our air is dirty and polluted, we develop health problems. With discus fish, you need to keep the water clean and at the right temperature and pH. You need to perform a partial water change once or several times a week, with between 25 and 50 percent of the water being changed. You need to have a great biological filter and make sure it stays clean.
An alternative way to be sure that your disc stays healthy is to use a reverse osmosis filter. A reverse osmosis filter uses a small, semi-permeable surface that only lets water molecules through and filters out minerals and waste that are unhealthy for the disc. Using either of these, you may need to think about adding some minerals as this will remove everything but pure water, and there are some things that your fish will crave.
One of the biggest health problems discus fish faces is the insects and worms they can develop, and their immune systems keep them under control until they are stressed. Observing the feces of your discus fish can reveal symptoms of insects or worms in your fish. White stool and pale stool are two signs. In addition to your bowel movements, you can mostly tell by your behavior. Insects can cause a range of observable symptoms, from hiding to developing a darker color to food strikes and not feeding.
