I have been busy treating my discus with various medicines in the last few weeks. I lost about 8 discus... :(
Managed to get the disease under control now...and most except 2 are already eating well and swimming fine.
Went to my local fish store again yesterday. One of the fish store owner was putting 20pcs of newly arrived discus into the tank. All around 4" long, and selling at a bargain price of USD12 per fish!
I knew I should buy any...as my main tank are still with sick fish and throwing the new fish into the tank is like killing them. Still, I couldn't resist the price and the quality of the fish...and chose 5! (Initially I thought of just getting 2)
This is what I bought:

Undeciding where to put the fish, I went to another fish store to buy the red worm. Then I saw a small 65L tank. I thought it might be nice as a temporary quarantine tank for my new 5 discus, and I can use it as my breeding tank as well! Since I have been spending so much money on discus, I shouldn't risk their life by mixing them again. So PAT was right...it is now TAS (tank acquisition syndrome...)...
I plan to return to the fish store again tomorrow to see what's left. There are still some nice one after I picked 5...
