Very accurate and well stated
Every time the electric goes off I leave work, I hook up the fish room and upstairs tanks to the generator. That's all I can run on it, the heat,refrigerator etc has to wait!!
I have 1/4 of the freezer and fridge filled with aquarium stuff
Holes drilled in hardware floors for pipes
yelled at for smell of bh mix
$350+ electric bill
haven't gone away for more than 2 days in some wheres around 7 -8 years
But that's the life of a discus hobbyist!
Very accurate and well stated
What is it about this "Flat fish" that makes you want to change "Lots" of water........fill half your fridge with their food.........kept you from taking a vacation lasting more than two days..........and once hooked, an addiction that you just can't shake......I guess "It happens"

Funny but true, my plans this winter are to take a few days to see Hans!!
I'm afraid to go on vacation because of my fish. how pathetic am I
Jennie,
Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten
LOL... Fact also...The vacation phobia will pass in time... Though it may take years/decades .
Discus are much like cats...They won't miss you much if you go away a few days....Heck they could care less if you go away a week and may even be so happy that you aren't fussing with their tank that they spawn while you are gone....
...and thats a fact.

Great thread and very good points.
I have accomplished most of the above, some of them more than once or many times
The learning never stops...... there are endless varieties and ways of doing things.
The people that you meet in this hobby is endless and one of the best parts Many of these people have taught me new things, and I thank them all.
Simply Discus has brought a lot of all of this together and I thank Al, Ryan, and Paul for making and keeping this place the way it is.
Its a fact
