Hello, all! Another new guy from the Pacific Northwest...aka Washington State USA. Not new to hobby, however. I found this wonderful forum because of a link sent to me by Kenny Cheung. A delightful fellow, as you all know. My first batch of discus dates back to a time when I met with Discus legend Herman Chan and Fairy Lake Discus Palace. I believe I bought 12 wild Blue Heckle from him? I bred them in 6 bare 20 gallon tanks with only an inverted flower pot and a wad of peat moss in the filter included.
My work is investment banking and an author of novels. By chance I met a fellow who I had not seen for 15 or so years, his mother had passed, I managed her investment and banking accounts so we had business and a past friendship. I knew that at one time he had breed Angel Fishes so asked if he was still breeding. As it turned out he had left the hobby as well but said that 2 years ago he had began again.
He kindly gave me a tank, filter, everything else. I called Kenny. He chose 5 different starter fish for me. When I began with Discus there seemed to be only 3 different choices and they all came from the Amazon River. I didn't know they now came from Asia in red, blue, gold, poke-a-dot options. I told Kenny I needed to have a flavor of nostalgia in my tank. He was able to accommodate me. Alenquer, he said.
I think if I place that old flower pot into the tank that I may get some little ones somewhere along the way.
I have gained a wealth of knowledge in a very short time by reading all of your helpful posts. Thank you.
