    Default Introduction

    My name is Marvin Rayla, I lived in London Ontario Canada.. Married with two kids. Originally from Philippines and only been here in Canada almost 4 years now, can't wait to become a citizen this year.. I have been a loyal student of AIKIDO (japanese martial art) and to my wife..

    I've been keeping fish since I am 15 yrs. old. Been keeping different kind of fish.. I have been in this hobby since. At present i am more enthusiastic and motivated to do well especially now that i have joined this great contest. I've only been in discus for 7 months. of those 7 months that I am keeping discus, I learned a lot and also through this website.. This website is my only source for all my discus fantasies.

    I will raise the fish into a 55G bare bottom tank, with two sponge filters, 28d C, 50% water change daily, and will feed them 4-6 times daily with New Life Spectrum - Discus Formula.. I didn't have any problems about this pellets, this pellets been doing a great job to my discus.

    That's all for now.. LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!

    Hi Marvin, congratulations.

    Sounds like you have a good plan for your fish, keep it simple and daily water changes. I am interested to see how the New Life Spectrum - Discus Formula grow the discus. Adobo and lumpia, my two favorite foods my best friend tried to teach me to make. Never could match his cooking.
    Sounds like you will have a full year, AIKIDO, citizenship, discus and most important....the wife. Wish you the best with all. Bill

    Hey Marvs,

    Good to know the Philippines is represented here. Keep it cool man and good luck. Mix it up. Some lumpia on the discus food might do the trick .

    Sell a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man how to fish, you ruin a wonderful business opportunity.
