Hi ALl,
I reall don't know if this is the place to post this but I am just wondering if there are any other discus hobbyists in the Western Massachusetts or Northern Connesticut area. I am sure there must be but I have been having difficulty finding you! I live in Springfield and would lve to meet others in this area. It would be nice to hook up and go crash Brews place together or something!!!
Hope to hear from someone soon.

Peter, there are a bunch of them. Go to the Hobbyist/Discus Event Locator section, look for your area.
HTH, Matt

Peter,

Hi. I'm in Ridgefield, CT, which is maybe 70 miles or so from you. I've also been looking forward to meeting other hobbyist in this area. I'm just getting back into keeping discus after being out of it for about 6 years.

I'm currently cycling a couple of 55 gallon tanks and can't wait to stock them.

Anyway, from what I've heard there was an NE meeting in November sometime and there's been recent talk about another meeting around May.

If anyone in the area is interested in getting together before then, I'd be interested, including going to Al's, which I've wanted to do.

I am East of you in Sharon, MA, and there are also a few discus enthusiasts in RI, including Jeff Richard a breeder.
The NE DiscusNuts event is coming soon!!!, but it may not be at Al's as I understand the Long Island people are pressig that way. No definitions yet.
Cheers, Francisco.

Would like to hear more about your habit ooops I mean hobby! :o
Hoping that there is going to be a NE Discus meeting soon ... perhaps we can meet sonetime and crash Al's or share a shipment from Cary. How's the used aquarium market up there? I am looking for a used 65 or other 36" based tank.
