πβοΈ *WINTER DISCUS CARE REMINDER* βοΈπ
Hey Discus fam! Winter is here and our fish need extra attention. A few important reminders:
π‘οΈ *Temperature*
Keep your tanks at 28β30Β°C at all times. Discus are very sensitive to cold, even a small drop can cause stress, disease, and loss of appetite.
β‘ *Power Outages*
We may still experience occasional outages. Please have a backup plan ready:
β’ Battery-powered air pump
β’ Inverter or UPS for your heater
β’ Polystyrene/blankets to insulate your tank during short outages
π§ *Water Changes*
Match your change water temperature EXACTLY to your tank before adding it. Cold water changes in winter are one of the biggest killers of discus!
π½οΈ *Feeding*
If your fish go off food or become lethargic, check your temperature first β it's usually the culprit.
Stay warm, keep those tanks warm, and as always feel free to reach out if you need advice! π
