    Yep, was there for the open house. Way too many goodies to choose from. I'll make another trip once my tank is ready to go. Hope she has a shipment around then...

    Hi, my name is Kris, and this is my first post.

    SO I've been told by everyone that you cant mix discus and African cichlids. well I'll put my entire list of fish on here and see what you guys think. I started my 55 Gal corner tank in October 2010, and started adding fish in November 2010.

    November 2010:
    1 Rainbow Shark
    1 Clown Loach

    January 2011:
    2 Blood Parott Fish (Male and Female)

    February 2011:
    1 Clown Loach
    1 Pleco (12")

    March 2011:
    1 Red Spotted Severum

    June 2011:
    2 Male Longfin Rosy Barbs

    August 2011:
    1 Yoyo Loach
    1 Jack Demsey
    2 Red-Turquoise Discus (male and female)

    November 2011:
    1 Sunshine Yellow Peacock (African Cichlid)
    1 Spiney Eel

    December 2011:
    1 Electric Blue Ahli (African Cichlid)
    1 Electric Yellow (African Cichlid)

    I've read/ been told that I cant keep these fish together due to temperament and water quality reasons. But I have NEVER had a single problem. Does anyone see any problem with what I've done?

    Welcome to SD Kris,

    African Cichlids and South American Cichlids do not belong in the same tank.

    First off welcome..alot of fish for a 55 gallon. In the end you will have to decide which fish you want to keep happy in the end. Jack Dempsey and severums get big..territorial.
    Africans ,territorial and like high ph.
    Lively swimmers and night fish as in clowns could stress out discus.
    Discus normally one per 10 gallons.

    The advice you've been given is WRONG. The chiclid mix you have is not good for discus. As April and Ralph mentioned. African chiclids, JD's and Clown loaches are far too aggressive for discus. If you are serious about keeping discus, rethink the mix that you have.

    Hey all you BCians,

    I moved to Vancouver Island over the last year and am now in Victoria. Really happy to see so many other discus fans that are relatively close by. Would love to make some contacts with others in Victoria, please pm and I'll gladly share my contact info - always game to meet and talk fish.

    I currently have a planted 210 g with around 80 rummy nose and 12 GB Rams, plus the regular algae crew of BNP and sterbais.

    Just placed an order for a batch of Juvies that should be ready around the beginning of March. This made up my mind to finaly join SD, even though I have been snooping and reading through this forum for some time.

    Looking forward to getting to know some of you better.

    Cheers,
    Louise

    I was in Vancouver last week for business, wish I thought of reaching out to some of you guys earlier. I should be in the area again sometime in the next 2 months, if anyone wants to meet up and grab a bite, I'd love to meet some of you out there. I've met some of the folks in the North East, including Evelyn. They've been all great people to chat with, and great company. I always have a great time when hanging with the SD crew. I imagine the same with our Canadian neighbors. So if any of you are interested in some chit-chat, send me a PM, eh? Cheers!
