    Default My Hobby/Story thread 2

    This is my 2nd tank. It’s a 75 gal planted tank with my new angelfish that I bought from a member here. I totally fell for these fish and it will be fun to watch the little ones grow up. The member guided me through many of my firsts with discus here and I trusted her knowledge and stock. I’ve had them a few weeks. They arrived on the 23rd of May. 5ABFC8A6-569B-46F6-AC84-626D95AA9B5D.jpg7CC1A2E9-7217-4F85-A5BC-91688CB92881.jpg0FA8B3E3-1C9E-4258-B972-B74DB651BC14.jpg

    Very nice looking angels. They look very healthy indeed. Good luck with them.

    The adult pair are Half Blacks, then German Blue Blushers, and Baby Blue Platinum Pearlscales. I’m not sure how old any of them are. I’m thinking the adults are a year old, but not positive. I will try and find out. That would be good to know. Thanks

    This is just a tape on Petco background. I was thinking of changing it, but maybe I’ll keep it now.
    Thanks Neo,

    The adults are around a year. I really don't remember how old the younger ones. I don't write down free swimming dates. I should but I never do. They are a long way from breeding age.

    I noticed the background too. I like it a lot. The entire tank is lovely. You have the artistic touch when it comes to tank decor.

    Thanks Liz,
    I just bought a little manzanita wood piece that I’m sanding down. My planted tanks always change over time. Never so much so as when I first learned about discus in planted tanks-then it was bye bye plants. It’s kind of nice having a planted tank again.

    Going to try and upload my first video. The adults seem to be chasing the little ones away. I don’t see eggs, but they are definitely getting territorial. www.youtube.com/pattyciborowski
    If the discus are happy, I’m happy

    Hey!
    I'm not sure but it looks like you provided the link to your profile (which apparently is not accessible by us).
    For the video, first make it non-private (either public or unlisted), click on the "share" button and copy-paste the link in the post when you do "insert video".
    If you want the video to be embedded instead of just linked, you should use "http://" instead of "https://".

    Hope this helps
