I was corresponding with discuspaul on another forum and he suggested I register here. Turns out I had made an account some years ago that I forgot about!
When I was six years old, I had just started fishkeeping and was browsing a fish store when I saw a striking fish printed on the packaging of a fish food bottle. I immediately asked the store clerk of this magnificent fish's identity. "Discus," he said, "Very difficult to keep; only for advanced aquarists". I was dismayed, but that formative moment sparked a dream in me to some day keep this fish.
My aspiration for once I have my own place and am settled is to become a crazy fish guy. This will of course center around a large discus display tank, filled with red turquoise discus like the one I saw all those years ago. I'm currently in college and focus on planted tanks. I am confident that my planted tank experience, combined with learning about discus husbandry on sites like this, will have my ready for this successful display once I'm at that stage in life. I'm particularly interested in learning about automation techniques like automated water changes, so if anyone here has experience with these please reach out!
