    Not sure how I missed this but wow!!! Stunning tank! I love it and you have some real beauties in there!! Job well done !!!

    I just read in your other post with regards to the drop. I feel awful for you, that just sucks, period... I would suggest some Epsom salt if it truly is bloating unless you think it's something internal from the fall...

    Typically and I hate to say it I've never faired well from seeing a fish dropped as it really seems to rattle them... I hope yours pulls through as he is gorgeous. Maybe because he's large and older he may make it after some tlc in the hospital tank...

    How are those rummies doing ? I too have a nice school
    From John... I got those and some cards and for a while I was having some weird die odds with the rummies... One at a time they would break from the group then the color would fade, gills flare and gone. It happened maybe 5-7 times. Nothing else seemed to be effected my water changes and parameters were the same as they always had been... Was so puzzling. Jacklyn and I had some extensive conversation over it as she had an issue similar in the past but no one seemed to know why figured I would ask you...?

    Thanks philly, unfortunately lost the dropped fish shortly after I put that thread up. definitely think it was internal issues from the drop.the Rummies are doing great. Had a problem with them getting into my overflow box but I think I fixed that. I have had them for about 5 weeks and just transferred them.

    Do you not use a net or some sort of container to move fish?

    sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I am guessing the net gets used all the time now. I know a lot of folks that move them without a net.
    it was costly for sure.

    Looking really good Tom, well done, and I can imagine how much work has gone into your tank. Plants look so nice in the planters,

    Your tank looks good, also the fish. I mixed Asian and German discus together in an 125G tank all after QT procedures. All was good for about two weeks, then sick discus with long white feces. I have no microscope so couldn't tell what they really had. Ended up losing seven discus from this mixing. All I can say is that I won't ever do this again! If you mix please let me know your progress and update us all on your tank. Thanks fellow SD member.
