I'm not actually trying to breed and sell discus. I just decided to spend money on fish rather than on different tanks. I did wild type bettas, angels, and livebearers for years, so, when I decided to convert to all discus, I bought what I could fit in the tanks that I had already set up. 8 29's fit pairs better than a bunch of young'uns. And 6 55's work for growout and a couple of planted 'pretty' tanks. I'm a medical student and my time is at a premium, and besides, I enjoy watching the way pairs interact. I do have a bunch of fry right now, so I'll either give those away or sell them in a couple of months. I've shipped everything but discus…….I sure don't want to have to do that. I can shrug off some guppies lost in the mail, but discus? No way. I'd be hysterical the whole time they were in transit.
Do you have pictures of your fish on here anywhere? I love the idea of a planted multicolor tank! I'll bet it's beautiful!
