Seachem Discus Trace
Discus Trace™ supplies a broad range of trace elements demonstrated* to be necessary for proper fish health and growth. Unlike terrestrial animals, fish obtain nutrients from both their food and environment. Trace elements are normally depleted by utilization, oxidation and precipitation, thus it is important to restore them on a regular basis. Discus Trace™ contains only those elements actually demonstrated* to be required by fish.
Aquarium salt is often used to add salts back to aquarium water. Some fish will tolerate this therapeutic use of salt; however, some fish are less tolerant. Discus as a species will not tolerate this elevated level of sodium in the water. If you keep live plants in your discus aquarium, the plants will not tolerate this either. Discus Trace™ is a well-researched supplement specifically formulated for discus fish and compatible with planted aquariums.

My discus have been much more vibrant since I started using Discus Trace. The fish are active and their colors are brighter. I didn’t have to adjust the water parameters, and the plants are thriving too. A reliable and safe supplement.

After switching from aquarium salt, my discus stopped showing signs of stress. The water clarity improved and the fish seem healthier. I’m glad I found this product—it works well with my planted tank.

Good product, easy to use. My discus have gained some weight and seem more energetic. I still monitor water parameters regularly, but the trace elements seem to be helping.
