mmhmm, IMO i think that is overcrowding, do they grow readily fast?

If you dont mind, your discus fries conditions look quite bad. Some start to turn black Liao n very thin.

Overcrowding is never a problem for discus fries up till 3 inch, but food n water change must be sufficient.

It will be a problem if we never take care of the water and enough food.

I would suggest a PP bath, your fishes has been sick for at least 2 weeks already.. You might save some but not all.

If you have the luxury of bigger spare tanks it would be better. Some (like me) only have 2footer spare.

Bigger water volume means that water take slower time to turn bad with at least 5x feeding per day for fries to juvs.
Smaller water volume means more care to water maintenance with that much feeding per day + no. of fishes in it.
