The possibility of bacterial growth actually increases as food cools after cooking because the drop in temperature allows bacteria to thrive. But you can keep your food above the safe temperature of 140ËF by using a heat source like a chafing dish, warming tray, or slow cooker.
Discus prefer a pH of 6.0, but I would recommend 6.5 so that you donât destroy your bacteria cycle. Temperatures should be around 27C-28C (80.6F - 82.4F). Discus canât tolerate ammonia, nitrite, or too much nitrate, so itâs a good idea to thoroughly cycle your tank before adding them as they are big fish.
