Rich, is that a san merah on your avatar. Gorgeous looking fish, as for the shipment they are in my tanks acclimating. My first time getting fish direct from Wayne, and let me tell you after how nice this batch is, it won't be the last. You'll also get to see what Waynes' competition grade adults look like, will knock you off your socks!

[RichT]

Thanks Angel your right it is a san merah. I've had her for about 15 months now.

[Cooldadddyfunk286]

haha here we go with the 2 angel confusion :p I KNOW YOUR IN QUEENS BRO :D ...the OTHER angel LOL :D:D

I was in New Dorp, SI ...around the corner from Farrell catholic highschool.

[poconogal]

I lived in New Dorp too, below the blvd. off Ebbitts Street! And before that, I was in Great Kills.

[Cooldadddyfunk286]

woww, thats awesome Connie, I had no idea! I was on cranford avenue, around the block from farrell. thats cool! well, we are now family! you too Angel T. :D:D:p

[poconogal]

Jason, I know exactly where you are. I loved New Dorp, I lived on Manila Place. Would still be there if my house didn't get flooded all the time, once a builder blocked drainage on the street. Those good ole' builders, LOL!!! My step son still lives on the island, I think he's in Great Kills, so we still come down there for visits.

[Cooldadddyfunk286]

i hear ya Connie LOL, I moved off of the island in 94', but we have lots of family and friends there, so we visit SI pretty often. its been a while for me tho. everytime I go back it just gets more and more crowded down there, I dont even understand how they fit all that on the island lol.

[poconogal]

Jason, last time I was on the island was a year ago, helping to clean out my late mother-in-law's home. I don't visit much now, its gotten too crowded for me too, esp in the 11 years I'm gone from there. One day it will sink because they built too much!

[shawnhu]

I'm in the Bronx, and frequent most LFS around the 4 boroughs(sorry SI, the Verizzono is expensive). Nice to meet others from the same area.

[Islesfan]

You may not be able to PM until you have a minimum number of posts. Usually you just need to click on the users name.

The Tropical Fish Club of Erie County meets the third tuesday of every month.
There is more information on the club's website (http://tropical-fish-club-of-erie-county.com/home/).

If you want more information, feel free to ask.

HI Josh, thanks for the link. I'll have to check it @ home, as my silly work computer firewalls it :(

[32Bit_Fish]

I'm in Flushing Queens. I took a long break from discus keeping (10 yrs break). I had many tropical fish and gold fish. But I love discus the most. So I'm back now with two discus in quarantine tank. I got them from Mr. Wang, the new fish store on Northern blvd. I'm planning to have a 75g planted discus tank. I can't wait to buy more discus.

[tonytheboss1]

Hello,
I am a new member to this forum and I live in York in Livingston county. I am just getting back into the hobby after a forty year hiatus. A ton has changed since then. I had discus back then but I don't recall all the information that is out there now. This forum's knowledge is a jewel.

Hi,

Matt here from Queens, NY. I'm looking to make my own beef heart mix but I can't seem to find any beef heart. Does anyone know where they sell it in Queens?

[mkng07]

I still have no luck finding any beef heart in Queens.

I'm new to discus keeping and recently came across something that has me concerned. Comment#15 in the thread below mentions how micro-bubbles could eat away the slime coat of the discus causing death if the water is not aged.
http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showthread.php?112560-Do-I-have-to-age-tap-water

Since water parameters are different based on location I thought it was best to put this question here.

Does anyone find that it is necessary to age the water before filling the tanks living near the NYC area? I'm currently just putting straight tap water into my tank with de-chlorinators.
If someone could share their experience on this matter that would be great. Thanks

[RichT]

Matt

Compare Foods carries beef heart. Should be able to find a few in Queens.

Hi Matt, Food Bazaar on Northern Blvd and 42nd street for beef heart, also Western Beef on Northern Blvd and Steinway has most of the time. Welcome to Simply Discus.

Hi all,
i am on long island, suffolk county. Been about the discus's life for a few years now but i am looking for local discus breeders (ny preferable, but willing to go out of state) (my pervious breeder moved). i just got another tank set up,all ready to go (cycled, just have some tetras in it currently)

I would highly recommend Kenny's Discus in California, not close to NY but he is the best in service and quality of fish.
