    I'm sure the virus has disrupted routines for everyone. I think I've seen fewer posts on the forum lately, also. I can understand. Kind of like skipping the sports section in the paper. Has it affected your husbandry?

    Mines actually gotten better. Work shut down and my water changes and other maintenance have been very consistent! Can't order worms though...

    To be honest, it's hasn't affected my fish keeping at all, although it has certainly affected my pocketbook. I'm a total home body (hermit). I don't want for much. I still go to my small town supermarket, to the drug store, the beer store, and the feed store where I'm a longtime customer and they know my name. My treat every couple of weeks it to go to my LPS store to deliver fish and fresh eggs from my lovely hens. That being said, I do feel that this might go on forever and I will never again get to see my nephew/best friend, who lives in London.

    My husbandry has been busier. My Wilds paired during the quarantine. Now, my domestics are pairing off. They must have been watching from the other tank.

    Here all the fish stores are open. So that way it’s the same. As for time on the tanks oh yeah they’ve got lots of cleaning and redesigning . Way to much time looking at other discus and thinking of new tanks. But yes tanks are clean and thanks to simply discus I’ve got lots of black worms .4CEEBA97-6928-432C-8018-EB1A55DAF061.jpg

    I buy a lot of stuff on Aquabid, but not discus. I stay strictly with Simply sponsors for those. I know most of these guys/gals personally and know exactly what I'll be getting. Every adult discus in my fish room has 300+ water changes invested, so initial pricing is really not an issue.
