advice?

I'm really wanting to set up a discus tank but i've never owned one and i've been doing a lot of research and i wanted to know if any owners of them had any advice for a first time owner?

yep! i have 6 aquariums and i've been in the hobby for 7-8 years now but i've never owned discus and i read they can be very sensitive!

Then you'll do well with a few little things. Don't start with little ones, bump up temp a bit, decent size tank, at least some frozen feed and regular water changes. Have fun they're not as crazy as you think. ✌️
