Thank you Al for all the hard work and worry. We will all enjoy sharing the experiences and stories for the next months to come... thank you again Al!!!!

    When did you got them ? How much have you lost so far and did you have any DOAs in the bag ?

    Photo of the tank with a little info . introduction of water chemistry would be nice too .

    Good luck and enjoy your new discus journey .

    Finally pictures. Everyone doing good!! Not all the little guys are in the picture. Doing 50% water changes daily. For some unknown reason the three pictures I took of the water test will not download, so I guess you all have to take my word for it until I can figure this out. No nitrate,nitrite, hardness 0-25, alkalinity 120, ph level 7.4. Live in the cold rainy state of Wisconsin, mom of three kids, should say 4 kids, husband too!!LOL!!! PROUD Nana of 10 grandkids, 9 girls and 1 boy(who is a twin). Had discus 20yrs ago and then we downsized from the farm and moved to town. I have limited space now, but just had to get back into the discus!! They are so beautiful!!

    Hi Karen, they look great. Be sure to resize any image to 2MB which is the largest image the forum software will allow.

    Hi all
    Have found a food that these guys LOVE. Our area fish shop makes their own flake combination, so I gave them all a taste this morning. WOW did they go nuts, loved it.

    That's awesome. I found the best flakes years ago by Bill from IE. Not sure if he still sells them but they were really good.

    Monday morning update. Doing fine. Growing a little more each week. Thanks to the couple of people that look at each post I put on. I'm not an expert and never will be, just hoping to learn some new tricks to help me along.
