Hi,
I like discus since the day my dad brought them back in 1992. Well, by that time the discus import to asia were much difficult to keep not to mention the chance of breeding. We quit keeping fish for 5 years but never get rid of the tank. One day in 2001, I stopped by a LFS and buy 20 neon tetras. I thought they were small and easy to keep. The next day half of they died, the rest of the survivors were covered by a kind of cotton like fungus. At the second night they all gone. I was quite sad and went to the LFS again; there I found my favorite fish------discus the fish I almost forgot about---swiming in the tank so elegant like a queen. So I bought 6 pieces of 2 inches BD and 6 piece of blood parrots home and kept them in the same tankwith everday 100% WC. They adapted the environment quite well. Ate a lot and grew quickly. So I found them are easlier to keep than tetras. But to tell the truth I found myself now a discus slave, have to do WC every single day and keep on buying new fish. That's quite a sweet responsibility. My wife always complain on not helping her but taking care of the discus. Well, the discus really attract me a lot increasingly.
How about you? Do you change water every day?
