glad to hear that your RTS is doing better. 31c was probably a little too warm for him and he was just uncomfortable for awhile. They do normally prefer temps of 72-79*F (22-26*c) so he must have been sluggish at the higher temp. I will now go and check out the [phosphate discus disaster etc) But any Happy Outcome.. has got to be good! :-)

Hi Jewels, where is the new post on your Discus at? I tried looking for it, but can't find it.

Hi Kate, If you look on site you'll see I've added a happy outcome (PS) to my discus disaster story. I've taken my boyfriend's advice (also a tropical fish lover), and turned my temp up to 31 deg C. I had it at this temp B4 but was told to turn it down! Only problem is that now one of a pair of previously happy Redtailed Sharks is lurking in the corner looking sad and lonesome. You really seem to know your fish, as I do myself. I did a 30% water change only 2 days ago. What do you think, considering there is still borderline phosphate in the water, but all other parameters are good? Another water change tomorrow for that poor shark? I'd appreciate your opinion......Cheers Jewels
