cichlidmomwanabe Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Thanks Greg, I tried to add the CO2 but they got a little cranky so the plants will have to do without... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscusKeeper403 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Very nice. What temperature is your tank at? I am not sure if the guppies and corys will be able to handle temps Discus need for very long : / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidmomwanabe Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Moved the guppies out last night and the tank is at 84. The cories are okay so far and are a wonderful clean up crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, just be careful. A lot of cooler temp. species won't last more then 6 months in a tank that hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaykit Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Awesome set-up. Are you finding it alot of work to keep discus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidmomwanabe Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 No and yes...I was doing water changes when they were in the 30 gallon every 2 days at either 30 or 50% by the bucket. Now that I have them in the 75 planted they get 40% every 4 days and seem to be doing fine. I have had some illness battles with them but they seem to come out of it pretty well and havent lost anyone to illness. Are you looking at getting into discus?

Jaykit Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Not currently as I am about to leave for school in a week and I wouldn't trust them with my parents. Definetly once I finish my schooling I would love to have a nice big tank full of discus and plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidmomwanabe Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 All I can say is make sure and get adults and from a good source. You may pay more but really you would be paying less. I have had my share of disease and drama from my discus. They can go from perfect to bad in a day, they are such drama kings and queens. If you dont do adults then go bare bottom until they are at least 5.5 to 6 inches, Im finding this out the hard way :tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But back to buying discus, dont buy from a LFS you will end up paying $100 for a low quality fish that will cause you nothing but problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
