| I was considering a wild caught discus...its very pretty.. But my water has a higher pH, and I haven't had any success in getting it down.. However, my current Discus seem to be doing very well in the higher pH. And I hate to make any major changes to my pH since everything seems to be doing well and they are sensitive fish. My question is though, in purchasing a wild caught discus, will it be able to adjust to a higher pH ? Thank you,

| I've been doing some readings and I've found that wild discus tend to be more hardy than bred discus? Is this true?

The wild are very hard to keep healthy. you have to stay on top of things. I moved my tank from one room to another and lost three of them. But over a very long time you can raise the ph up to 7.6 with harming the fish to a degree. I think the GH and KH are the main ones to worry about.
