    Occasionally there will be some fish pop up in the LFS that are decent. Prices can be wide ranging. But yes, high quality discus in Japan are extremely high priced.

    That wasn't just a steal, Eddie, that was highway robbery !

    That pair would have cost me at least $250. CDN here in Vancouver - probably more - and near $400. in USD.

    We'll see if they are confirmed in the coming days. Would be cool though.

    Well done Eddie! How's the tap water in Japan? I didn't keep fish when I lived there so never had a reason to check. Just curious what the parameters are in your area.

    Definitely. About half the eggs turned white. I wasn't expecting them to spawn. The sponge filter was literally right in front of the spawning site so maybe the current had some impact or maybe the male is still young.

    It's not ideal, really weird actually. It's sourced from several underground wells and honestly, I'm still trying to figure out exactly how it's affecting the fish. TDS is about 60-75 and the PH slides pretty easy so there is very little KH. PH before aging is 8.2 and after aging, it drops to about the 7.8-7.6 range.
