That’s exactly how it went boys. Pain in the but. Water changes galore and even with auto water change system they got the best of me. I’m sticking with Asian fish. They are hard to kill.Also have a few Aulonacara species, a couple of turtles and a Bichir and a hybrid ray.

Nice looking group.

I like it. You guys in Calgary are lucky to have access to a pretty good selection of fish. In Red Deer we get Petland and Petsmart and the occasional Kijiji score but nothing cool like this

Must be albino. I can't see them on white background. LOL.

Yeah, I've had a few issues with them already. I got a group of wild caught discus and only 2 of the 8 are left. The domestics are doing pretty good I think I have a couple that are paired up, but then I have one that hasn't been eating. They are definitely harder to keep than most fish. Here's a few new pics:

My discus get 30% every second day, filters cleaned every month, pre-filters get rinsed every second water change. My arowanas are on a drip and get 100 gallons every day and change filter floss as required-usually weekly. I also backwash the ultima II every 15 days.

A few new discus. Lemon yellow-the only one of the group with blue in the anal fin. red dragon royal red turquoise-these guys will be stunning when they mature misc shots

I got them from Calgary. Alberta Discus. I wouldn't go with wild caught discus. Wild strains F1 or F2 but not wild caught.

I am on city water.

I don't use RO water but my house is filtered by a Pelican water system. I don't have any chlorine and water comes out of the tap at 7.5 ph.

I find the wild ones are more needy than domestic varieties. They require a very clean tank as the low ph where they come from seems to make them vulnerable to bacteria that thrive in our high ph water. Most discus people do major water changes daily. I have kept my stock low (13 fish in a 230gallon) and I do 30% water changes every 2 days.

They are awesome! Some of them look pretty big too.

Nice fish! You're always finding something different.
