my new wild caught discus

First topic message reminder :













theres 6 total of them 2 are rio purus blue discus
4 are the rio nanay green discus

hm okay well ill see if i hav any room for the fish, lol but i doubt with all those little truds well they poop alot of turds lmao i clean costantly in that tank bc they poop so much

Yes they do poop alot,but I had about 50 Cichlids ranging from 2"to8" in my 60g and never had a problem.You just have to keep the water changing up.Unless you don't want to see all that poop than I wouldn't get anymore.In my 30g korner tank I had 11 Angels and 5 Rainbow Sharks and 3 ABN and about 30 Lemon Tetras in there and never had a problem either.I'm just saying you can do it its just a matter if you want to.

oh i do 2 waterchanges and one is at least a vacuum day so ya time and cleaning is def not an issue, lol im getting 6 more discus. 3 red pigeon blood and 3 blue diamond but after that ill go little fish if i want to thats why im a little iffy. ill hav my 100 gallon soon but still iffy.

Well I would just take care of those Discus and make sure there healty and growing before you get more fish,but thats just my 2 cents.I know you take good care of all your fish.So its all good!

oha ya the only reason im getting them whcih my orginal order was 2 large ones but he didnt hav anymore so thats why im getting 6 to make up how much ive sent him. they will go in my 55 to keep my femal company and the wild caught ones will be in the 20 long for at least 6 weeks just incase they carried some parasite and fungus or watever.

Hows your Discus doing?

The wild ones r doin good but my babies r dying n I dont know why they just started to turn dark yesterfay and lost 2 then today I lost another one so now I only hav 3 left. My wild ones r fat and healthy.

Sorry to here that about the babies,but glad that your wild ones are doing good.

Thanks I cant do anything bout the babies but do the best I can so thats wat im going to do but my wild ones r good and fat before I got them and that helps wit shipping

hows the water in TX? is it really soft?

My water isnt to bad with the hardness but idk wat fts is? I lost all except for one and hes not doin well theyr droppin lik flies.

Those are some nice fish and a beautiful tank

Ya it does the wild ones e in my 20 long for qting once theyr dome they will go in my 55 or 100 lik I said ill hav to take the pic wen I get back from oklahoma

Can't wait to see some more pics!

Ouch that sucks to hear about the little ones! Glad the w/c guys are doing great though

that's why I don't have discus. Sorry for your loses.

looks really nice it reminds me of my 7 foot 135 I use to have with wild caught tefe green in it.. I sold them to a guy and they died the next day.

lmk if you ever order anymore wilds.. i've found that i prefer them to tank raised.

Sur I will wen it gets warmer and wen I hav the momey to buy from snookn again.

My wilds are F0 trully wild caught not captive bred.

Looking good Pilli!, those Discus look happy there!..
