    Default Settling In

    After putting the discus in their tank yesterday morning l pretty much left them alone. But, l couldn't help myself from having a little peak every now and then. They seem to have settled in alright, but are very very shy, using the corner sponge filter to hide. Hope they get over this now that l'm spending alot more time with them. Started feeding them Tetra Colour Granules, Sara San Flakes, and Frozen Blood Worms at different intervals through out today. They are only picking at their offerings and hope they will eat more aggresivly soon. I will be doing a 1/3 water change after posting this message and clean up the left overs.

    Looks like they are doing good.

    It also looks like you have a little flat screen TV posted in the tank (1st pic) for them to watch. lol

    It's amazing what a differance a water change and a few hours make. The fish are all out of hiding now and swiming around the whole tank. I had slowly pushed the PH up to 7.2. I think that's a bit closer to what they are used to? Also feeding a bit better tonight. I sure will be sleeping better tonight than l did a couple of nights ago.

    The flat screen TV keeps them entertained, and up to date with what going down on Simply Discus.Plenty to see there!

    I'm thinking of getting some one like 'Eddie McGuire' down here and do on the spot footage with commentary live broadcast, or something like that. That's great what Karren's doing! Top of the class!
