    Daniel,

    I appreciate and applaud your honesty and background info. No excuses there, tell it how it is, much respect. Maybe what I was seeing was just the video or the angle, sorry I wasn't trying to nitpick just an observation, glad you checked and it was my eyes!

    Whatever you are doing seems to be working quite well for you. You are doing all you can do and are happy with the results and in the end that is all that matters!

    I look forward to seeing more updates and info on the tank!

    Again thanks for being so candid!

    Hi all

    I think I jumped a couple of months of updates.

    Nevertheles, nothing extraordinary happened. Discus looks healthy, at least to me :-)

    A Stendker (snake skin) discus never grew. It is still at ~4.5". All others grew. I have now, the small guy, middle size and big size. I was expecting that due to the number I have. But looks those colors and how they swim. I love them all.

    Still ~ 70 % of WC once a week. Temp at 85F and ph 7.6-7.7

    Same filtering sytem. I only change the filter sock every 3-4 days.

    As of today all was very simple....touch wood.

    Enjoy the video.

    They look really active and strong. I think we have the same kind of corner flow tank.

    Mine is much more minimalist. I have just one giant driftwood that I put some java on.

    I love the scape you have done.

    Thanks for sharing the video. Always love to see other members' tanks in action.

    Thank you all for the compliments !!!!

    I just saw that every time I click the link I need to adjust the video quality by clicking in the video menu.

    Is that happening to you ?

    Cheers

    Update:

    Almost a year old (August was when I setup the tank).

    No changes, same schedule.

    Enjoy the video. Adjust the quality in your phone or computer.

    Very nice progression Dan.
    They have grown beautiful . Considering your minimal effort on feedings and WCs, they have grown quite well .
    Very good job done Daniel .Your tank and your fish looks great.

    Thank you very much for your comments !!!


    I am following all the Stendker suggestions as they have in their internet site. Moreover, I do more, as they suggest only a 30% water change per week and I do a ~ 70% once a week. I use the same filtering system suggested by them as well as the number of Discus. I feed them once a day 2-3 FDBW cubes and 1-2 cubes of blood worms. They always get 3 total cubes.

    Thank you again ! And Thank you for embedding the videos !!!

    Daniel

    Ps: you have probably noticed tbat not all have grown to the same size. But they are healthy and eat like sharks. :-)
