Very nice Rick ! I somehow missed this post. Great updates and good to see you back in the hobby. Good luck with the grow outs!
One day I hope to see your fishroom. Utah needs a Discus community soon
Another update video. I've had these fish since November 4th.

Happy New years everyone!
Here's my new year update on the discus I got from Al on November 2. Growing like crazy and doing great! In fact other than a day and a half where I lost a ton....(sad face) I have had zero issues with these guys.
They are housed in a split 75G plumbed to a 20G sump running nothing but sponge(around 9 inches). Water is returned at around 150GPH. Temps kept around 84F They do share the water with a ton of Apisto fry and some guppies and bristlenose plecos....

Awesome job Rick
Great shapes on them and look very healthy.
Just goes to show you my multi-tasking skills are fading... I can't believe that I missed this thread! In my defense the last two months are a huge blur!
Rick thanks for that first post! I was really happy to see you returning to the hobby after so long! You have done great with this batch, They look like awesome! I'm looking forward to them breeding one day for you!

Great thread Rick. I don’t know why I’m just seeing it now, but glad I found it and glad you found your way back to simply discus. You certainly haven’t lost your touch-very nice grow out!

If the discus are happy, I’m happy
They look great Rick! You just may catch up with the challengers from more than a month earlier!!!
