| Hey everybody, I found your forum on CL while looking around to see what's on the market and decided I'd stop by to check you out. I am stationed in Norfolk, VA and brand new to the area. I have a 75G and a 10G. The 10G is my hospital tank with a bare bottom and driftwood. My 75G on the other hand is a little more busy with 6 Discus, 4 Clown Loach, 13 Neon Tetra, a BN Pleco, and RCS (Maybe lol). It's a planted tank with swords, java ferns, riccia, pennywort, etc. But anyways, glad to have found y'all. Happy 4th of July! | |

| Welcome! Good to see more people was the eastern part of VA! Stationed at NOB myself good to see another service member that also has discus! We have a pretty strong group in VA lots of people in the area. Be sure to post pictures up of all your fish. Everyone here loves to drool over fish haha. If you look at the show and tell section you can see just what I am talking about  Be sure to check out the Virginia chapter part of the forum for more information about upcoming meetings and other happenings. | |

We have been meeting bi-monthly. Sorry we don't have the date figured out quite yet for the next meeting. The plan is to have a cookot this time around to change the meeting up a little. | |
