Hi JL,
Welcome to Simply! Who is the breeder near you? I ask because I'm in Grayslake
There are 10 types of people on this planet; those who understand binary, and those who don't.
i actaully live in great lakes as i am in the military. most people are like were is that so i just say north chicago. and teh breeder his name is butch. and i can't think of teh name of teh town to save my life. but he is down off 94 exit 35 i think. he has a huge basement full of them. i also work in grayslake at the lake forest hospital on the weekends. my water should be fine in a week or so.
yeah it didn't seem to far from here. i think it was probly 15 20 miles from me. maybe a little further. the traffic make it seems further. seemed like a real nice guy and he is teh guy that i got my tank from. and when my wife seen his fish she wanted them to. so we are letting teh tank cycle and i will be calling him up.
Welcome!!!
I buy most of my fish and food from Butch great guy with the best Beefheart mix.
On another note using feeder gold fish to cycle a fish tank isn't good they carry a lot of nasty bacteria that can transfer to your discus once you put them in there.JMO

Welcome! I agree with Tiffany - I would not use feeder gold fish.
See if Butch will let you borrow a sponge filter or give you some used media from one of his filters you'll be good to go.
Stock lightly and figure thigns out - better to lose one or two fish then a full tank.
