Hi everybody,
Time to introduce myself!
My name is Bas and I’m from the Netherlands. I’ve been an aquarium enthousiast for 4 years now... and counting. I own a 80-gallon blackwater aquarium which used to house Red Shoulder "Manacapuru" Angelfish which I raised myself.
Although, recently I started the challenge of keeping Discus fish. As a new Discus keeper, I’ll be spending much time here reading, learning and hopefully, being able to contribute after a little while.
I introduced the following species from Stendker, varying from 3 to 5 inch size, to my tank:
3 Leopard Red
3 Red Turquoise
2 Leopard x Snake Skin
In addition to that 50 Cardinal Tetra and my other loyal tank guests are a L600 - Leopard Cactus Pleco, a L128 - Blue Phantom Pleco and a small school of 10 Black Corydoras.
Regarding the technical part of my aquarium:
JMB AquaLight "Community" 27W LED + Controller
JMB AquaLight "Amazon" 27W LED + Controller
2 Eheim Professionel 4 600
Eheim ReeflexUV 800
Hydor 300W In-Line Heater
Eheim Air Pump 100
Same as with the angelfish, I’ll be doing 2 75% water changes weekly. More is not possible due to a busy work schedule. Food will consist of Stendker’s own branded frozen diet, fed 2 times a day, plus an additional feeding of Hikari Discus Bio-Gold when I’m at work.
The picture is taken the day after the Discus were introduced.
Any advice is appriciated!
