ABwildrose Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Very nice. Discus are very pretty fish...but too complicated for me to try and keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 lovely fish Michael. I have a 1/2 dozen in my tank. Growing nicely.!! Pour the food to them - worms, heart ... and lots of fresh water.[ aka w/c,w/c,w/c,w/c'ssssssssssss]. My receipe - ph@6.8; KH@45 to 75ppm - black water; and NO3's@ 1-5ppm. AB - discus are not complicated - they just require more work. ...lol.... Once they get past their first year - they are very tough fish. mpe.

midgetwaiter Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Hey Michael, I'm the Riverfront guy that helped you with the Pigeon Bloods, it's nice to see that they settled in well. You really weren't kidding about the Cobalts, I might have to go check them out. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Roth Posted June 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Hey Aaron, yeah, everybody is happy in the tank, the colours are getting brighter, etc...and the fish are starting to pack on weight. Rahim, I am not absolutely certain on the address, but Sunnyside is on 16th avenue, just east of COP. There selection is fairly limited, but the stock is in good shape.

Smokey Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Michael : How are the discus doing[??]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Roth Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 They are fat and happy. Actually everyone id benefitting from their twice a day feedings, the loaches are fat and happy, the rams are fat and happy, and even the two spotted bristlenose are fat and happy. Had a near tragedy though, planted some corkscrew val and some amazon sword in the tank, with a healthy splash of some floatin g plants that are hairy like a cat's tongue....so to feed the plants, I bought three 20 watt halogen bulbs, little buggers, the accent lighting kind. Well, I came home from work and the glass tops had broken, sagging towards the tank, with the lights on top. Almost electrocuted my fish. Needless to say, I am entertaining new options.
