Re: Discus Thread

Hmmm, are you the person who had already purchased all the discus I wanted from Dan a month or so ago?  Seemed all the ones I wanted were already sold to some, in Katy?

I think you're talking to me since I am in Katy. But the answer to your question is no, I guess. :)

Re: Discus Thread

Sorry, I meant Jolley, should have used quotes.  It's late and my brain in already in sleep mode.

I have a small tank compared to most discus tanks, it's a 105 tall and I have an Eheim 2217 and 2215 with a hot magnum.  I would like to say I have it planted but I just don't have any luck with plants.  The tank is too deep and I don't have enough light.  I will probably have to move my discus to the 75 and put the altums in the 105 when they get bigger.

I wonder who it was, there aren't that many of us boxers that live in Katy  :think:

Would a 2260 take care of the filtration?

That would be plenty!

Re: Discus Thread

Damn Jolley! you just put me to shame.   Now I want a tank like that now.

Re: Discus Thread

I wasn't trying to put anyone to shame. :) Just saw the thread and thought I would share some pics. I don't like my tank at all at the moment. Simply because it is not decorated. Once it is, I'll post more pics.

tnguyen, your fish look awesome. Szidlon, I'm not sure if I've seen yours yet. I'll check the forum soon. :)

This is the tank the discus are in minus the fish and rocks.

Nice!  Thanks for sharing the pic.   Have you think about getting a school of cardinal or rummy nose.  Perfect combination for a tank like that.

Re: Discus Thread

Yes I have actually. I thought about 600 cardinals. :) But I don't want them swimming down the two built-in overflows. I want to add more discus before adding anything else. I'm thinking of a red species to add some contrast in color. :)

Re: Discus Thread

I hate to say it, but I may have caught the discus bug.  8O  I recently brought home a "sick" discus, not sure how "sick," but I'm hoping he/she will recover. I've never really liked discus, actually. But this guy made me fall in love. I'm twitterpated. My head is filled with visions of the new discus tank I will have when this guy gets better and I get tankmates for him. It's also filled with quite a large remodelling of the apartment...

How many discus do you have?

Re: Discus Thread

Well, again, I've got 10 free, healthy "starter" discus that I will give to whomever wants to come get them. I say starter because they may have a flaw or two when viewed by the experts.

[Mzungu]

Re: Discus Thread

Just the one, for now.

Jolley - what kind of discus?

[tnguyen]

Re: Discus Thread

Mzungu, when you say sick. what symptom are you seeing to suggest it is sick.  From what i was told, they do a lot better in a school.  If you get one, it tend to hide and won't eat.
