1.5"- 2" leopards

[jimg]

I'll take 6 of the fry, If you still have them. I'm from LI/NYC, but I know Westchester area ( many of my business clients are in Westchester). The only problem is I'm just getting back into this hobby (10 years absent) and the 90 gals tank is just sitting up. I could pay you first, and pick-up the fry in 1-2 weeks. Yes I know how to take care of fish, raised 4th gen of Angle fish ( When I was MUCH younger). Thank you.

Hi I will set a bunch aside for 1 -2 weeks. I have 9 bar leopards and 14 bar leopard snake skins I will set a side a few of each.
Let me know asap if you change your mind.
I would try to use a smaller tank than 90 for just 6 2" discus. It could be fine but they have tendencies to feel more secure in a tighter surroundings.
I would keep 6 in a 29 gallon tank and as they grow move them up. But that is completely up to you.

Hi Jim, I could pay you cash first on Monday or Tuesday afternoon and pick-up in 1-2 weeks.

Unfortunely, I gave all my small tanks away 10 years ago. All I have now is a acrylic 90g tank sitting in my LI basement collecting dust. First, I need to have my emplyee move it to my NYC place. Second, cycled the water though the sump for a week.

Please keep 3 of each kind for me.

Thanks again. Hope to see you soon.

Hi Ed
I do not mean to offend anyone, but I would rather not sell the fish if they are going into an un-cycled tank.
It takes me almost 6 weeks sometimes to cycle a tank.
I sell these as a hobbyist not for a living,so the fish mean more to me than the $.
If you can get the tank 100% cycled with another aged filter I will be more than happy to help you.

No problem Jim, I understood how you feel. I was trying to rush the cycle, by using peat moss. Even using peat moss, nitrate level will still be off in 1 week.

This tank used to be salt water set-up, it took me ~2.5 months just to cycle the tank with live rock and sand.

Hence, no offend taked, Thanks again.

I well let you know ASAP when the tank is cycled.

As for Anglefish, activated carbon is none issue to rush the nitrate to a safe level (after seasoned the water with peat moss). But with the Discus, I'm going to let "mother natural" do the job. Organic peat moss has nitrate fixing bacterial in it, just take more time (but more stable, less spike or flex). I'm also using Eheim Pro marine canister filter with EFHI to speed thing up (Unfortunely, the EFHI is new= no bact).

I'll let you know in 2+ weeks later, hopefully you well still have some left. Thanks

I'll love to have 3 of those blue diamond.

Just a tip on keeping smaller discus in a larger aquarium... Just get a divider and keep the juvies to one side of the tank. As they get bigger you can expand their swimming space by sliding the divider over... Keeps them happy

Z You can use Poret foam or even run over to home depot and buy a piece of colored acrylic. HTH

Hi Chea
I am glad you are happy with them. That is very important to me.
They are very healthy and will devour anything you feed them non stop!!
Good luck
