they aren't as hard as people make them.. talk to txredneck.(jon) he is in weatherford. he has great prices and great discus. he's even one some of mine at the tca auctions. give them good food, at minuim 30% at 2 times a week and they are happy, oh and clean warm water too.

Very nice discus.


Ummmm, you know having that tank on the stand like that is asking for a busted tank........

Thanks for the reply's!

I have to agree with plantedtankdude. They are not as bad as some people make them out to be, but they do require dedication and time. I also feel that with all the captive bread fish out there makes them less sensitive to PH/water parameters, but just my personal feelings.
I do 30% water changes daily which some may think is not enough and some may think its overkill.. Lol, I have the time and takes me 15minutes and is worth it to me and my fish..

I have always had heavily planted Discus tanks, this is my first BBT and man, I LOVE IT!! So easy to keep clean, more water in tank and is just soooo clean!!

Hmm, it has been on that stand in the same place since 2001? How should it be placed?

nice job. fish will be big in no time. who did you buy them from?
what your feeding sched and what are you feeding?

I don't want to post where I bought them as they were a mess when I received them. But it was via a website.

I plan on getting a few more once I get a bigger tank, and will be buying from Kenny's Discus.

They eat a lot on weekends as I am around to feed at will.
On weekdays before work and a few times when I get home.

They love a Beefheart mix with some flake food as a binder. They also feast on Mysis Shrimp and flake foods.

Awesome!

Very Nice!

very nice looking fish

Still curious, whats wrong with my stand? Is it because it is not full length?

Ya, it puts stress on the tank, that and one good bump and it is down.
But if it works for you...... But I would never do it.........

Thanks Fern,
I never really even thought about that when setting it up years ago!
I will have to fix this..
+1 for Fern and USA Fishbox!!

You can slap a piece of ply wood cut to fit on it and 4 dorky 2x4 legs and you are good. But a stand that fits cant be beat!

I am a major klutz and have kids, stuff needs to be sturdy in my house

Took a few more pics today, I'm not that good at taking them and my camera sucks.. But trying!!

looks good man want some

Wow they look GREAT!

I can't see a freaking thing wrong with your photos! welll.. except your not taking them in my crib! Great looking fish. Bill in Va.

Well this thread is just going to turn into a monthly picture blog so I can measure progress on my baby's..




Here's Marches update.













And Kami!!
