There are a few out there - at least one in Calgary (I have seen his fry at auction). Lots of people try to breed discus, few are succesful or last. I eventually would like to breed - as a natural extension of the hobby, but not to make money. To give you an idea of the experience and time it takes, one of my mentors "Spidey Steve" on the forum took 3 years straight to raise, pair, breed and have a viable school of juvies. Are you an experienced breeder? What are you hoping to achieve? Where did you get the nice cobalts that were for sale? Kevin Not an experienced breeder what so ever, lol but wish to gain the experience. I just want the satisfaction of the knowledge to breed them, and quite possibly want to share the discus with other ppl. the other discus that i had recieved, i got at such a sweet deal i couldnt pass it up. But had to let some go to make room for more fish. My Sankeskins are laying eggs right now but it is also the first time they have laid them. so hopefully soon i will have some to share.

Looking for Discus Breeders in Edmonton or even Alberta for that matter, does anyone have any links or info?

looks very nice. congrats on the purchase. ill look you up when i have a successful breeding of the snakeskins.

i have mine with discus, as the discus are middle swimmers

i should of read this before posting up in the LF equipment thread lol nice.

Ty everyone so kindly for the quick and timely replies.

Any help with this fishes ID, and how much they go for he is approx. 5 or 6 inches

if you want to know more about crabs just go down to 118 Ave, i heard you can get them free down there. lmao

the purple were on the right of the panthers. the only reason i got the purple ones is because they were 16.99 and the panthers were 29.99

micro sword not so good, lol its gone to a better place now. but the dwarf is radi and growing fast.

dont knwo the species, but it jsut said Purple Crab on teh tank. I got them at big als'. there are 2 kinds. Panther crab and purple. panters go for 29.99 and the purple for 16.99 i got the cheap ones to see if they would do anything.

bought 2 today here is 1

nice looking tank, even better fish.

thank you all a bunch CR is where its at.

i will be selling off the juvie cobalts in about a weeks time.

So i am keeping all my tanks FW, but now i am going to be getting into the SW as well. Im not too sure, what to ask and im not too sure what to get. but i would like to start out with a 60 Gal or more. what equipment should i use? what equipment is in your opinion best? What are great starters? what kind of costs am i looking at. ? I am the biggest pain in the butt on the forum for Q?'s some may be silly to you but it might help others down the road. Any info. is greatly appreciated, and as always i thank you in advance.

Just wondering what a pair of Breeding BN PLecos go for.

ty sir.

Sorry for the crappy pics but i dont have a good camera, but here are some pics of my discus i just picked up. This is just a small group of them in my 38 gal.

I just picked up 11 6 month old Cobalt Blues, A Breeding Pair Of Snakeskins and a Super Melon, and a male Cobalt Blue. 4 aus rainbows, and a breeding pair of bristle nose with a baby. Now why do they just sit in the top corner of my tank, i split them up to have the breeding pair together, with the large melon and cobalt with 3 babies and the rest of them are in my 230 tank until i can sell them off. What shall i do. ? they just chill there not doing much. up by the heater but the whole tank is approx. 80F and same with the other tank. Anyone have any suggestions.

So i purchased some black sand for my 230, 100 lbs worth, so i have washed the stuff for over 2 hours now, water was clean so on so forth. put it in the tank and whammo cloudier than that rainstorm that flooded the mud a few years back, and now it will not go away. as for the extra stuff that is on the top that is easy its going into my overflows and i can get it out later. cloudyness will not go away and i need it to go bye bye. please help the fish NOOB. and as always, criticism towards me being dumb is welcome lol j/k thank you in advance.

looks to be a reaction from the minerals in the rock and the water in the tank, i had this in my old tank, but it was red. i could be wrong though. just my worthless 2 cents lol

found this on the net thought i might share it with some stingray fans, for owners and ppl that will be or want to own them http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/20...ngrays_2005.pdf

that is gorgeous, good job. how much do you charge lol i need a canopy done for a 230 gal, with a light system in it.

so i finally got the dorso tube done, it is alot quiter now that i have an engineer coming over to do some experiments, i will no longer have the sound of water draining from the tubes either. that sound drives me nuts.
