Welcome back Duncan. It's been a while. Where have you been these last few months?

[April]

hi duncan. i think hes been busy with his new lfs in nanaimo.

[Kevin22]

man, lots of ppl from hometown. Hi, I'm Kevin from Burnaby. some ppl know me, some don't.
Been into discus for couple years. I'm all bout wild discus now.
nice to see the local community's growing. let's face it, we have the best water, should have the best discus.

[April]

well..we do..but our water has no minerals. almost ro water. about 0 hardness. the rain washes all the minerals away. no rocky mountains to absorb it. discus grow far faster in say ontario than here.

[Kevin22]

easier to add minerals than reduce them. especially for wild fish, we have RO like water come out of tap.
easier to make them feel like home.

hello everyone

I miss everyone i do really enjoy here for a long time. Discus are always fanstic and lot of awesome in the future.

I have been a lot of working with my shop. It is really very tough for me. I have no time for social but i always spend time with my boys.

I had my back surgery. i got home from the hosptial last monday. I have to rest i can have time to do this site.

I am happy with my new shop in nanaimo., its really very indepance but lot of work and keep run my bussiness i hope i will get my pay back in the future.

home based bussiness i was doing breeding discus. angels and others. i had lot of time.

on june 2005 my hatchery moved to location shop on rock city shopping center i was fixing around the shop. my shop were opened on sept 3rd 2005.

on sept 2006 Gary who owner clear water pond suppler at coombs he asked me to moved there. we moved there on oct or nov 2006.

move back to nanaimo on mostar rd in nanaimo on july 1 2007. the shop reopened on sept 5th 2007.

I will never move around there. I believe in my heart if i stay there longer it would be much better. Becase of i lost lot of good custmors do not know where is my shop.

I agreed with April's comment about the water but at the well water is very good, has minerals. I know about lot of water are diffrent on the island but i think that the city tap water is very pure as ro what they use biggest ro filters.

Victoria city water , Shawington lake well water Nanaimo city and well water errington well water, parksville city and well water water are diffrent . I find out the well water is better than city water because there have lot of minerals.

IMO i like the island's well water is better that i breeded and grow out fry i dont need to add anything in breeding tanks and growing out tanks had no problems.

For growing out discus i used crushed corals it works very well.

cheers
Duncan
