Discus Fish Water Ph Can a PH of 8.6 kill my discus fish?
I am going to purchase 2 discus for my 20 gallon aquarium what will happen if I don’t adjust the ph down to 6.5-7. I use water conditioner but the tap water ph is 8.6.
Discus are very sensitive fish and have many specialized requirements, right down to the amount of light they can tolerate. They need dark substrate, low lighting and heavily planted, bog-like tanks. Discus can adapt to ph only up to 7.8, but are not healthy at that level and are much healthier at a lower ph. 6.0 is considered perfect for discus. Discus need excellent water quality, free of toxins like chlorine, ammonia, nitrite, phosphate, etc.; correct water chemistry, pH and water hardness; and proper temperature, between 82 and 86F. The water should be soft, between 3 and 15dH. The pH should be between 5 and 6.5. Yes, and discus can grow to 8 inches so you would need more like at least a 50 gallon aquarium for a pair of discus. Do a lot of research before buying the discus so that you will be certain that they will be happy and healthy. For a 20 gallon tank, you may very well wish to consider other tropicals.
