Hi:

I find discus keeping is quite a hard work, but at the same time one gain a lot of pleasure and content when the discus are all healthy. I spend about at least two hours each day on them. How about you?

Thanks DM, Arpanlib and Jeep. I have 14 adults, 16 juv and 10 fries. I think that is enough for me. Water changing takes me more than 2 hours daily.

Hi, I was curious so I counted my personal fish! 67 With 12 more Heckels on the way! :o
I have about 700 I imported to sell to pay for the rest of them!
Automatic water changer is the only way to go!
And that does not include the African, Central and South Amerian cichlids, catfish and livebearers. They number in the 1000's. I'm selling off a lot of my other cichlids to make room for more discus, but I just got back into show guppues again. And I have a day job too! :juggle: Yes, I am crazy!! ;)

:bounce2: :bounce2: Hi all, I'm having some trouble keeping up with my 22 discus (2 tanks), since my knee(s) surgery. Slowmoving, but hope it'll get better. Also have 9 Cories, 20 Bolivian Rams & 2 sw fish. This is not counting what's out in the hospital (office) tank. Will keep trying tho, spring's coming, expect to get better, lol, Dottie ::) ::) ::)

I've got just 6 and one on the way. I also have one horse. I say this, because currently the horse is less trouble than the fish. I almost never worry that he is going to die overnight.
