I am glad to be back!!! I have been on here a long time ago but forgot my user name and password so I had to create a new one. I was heavily into discus and had a pretty big setup but had to quit the hobby because life got busy with kids and life. But now that the kids are older and out of the house and life has become less hectic I can get back into the discus hobby again that I love so much. I will be starting from scratch again with discus but it will be a fun journey since I had been in the hobby for 30 years prior to this.

Welcome back! Ask questions. Were you keeping other fish while away or stopped altogether?

Yes I was breeding show guppies which I am still doing but going to stop doing them for my discus again. Currently I have 21 tanks of show guppies so I am still busy with water changes and all the other fun stuff.

Thats awesome. I love guppies! It always reminds of how I got introduced to fishkeeping and aquariums.
Please share pictures of those beautiful tanks here.

funny you say that as I'm balancing a 1 and 3 year old (having a lot of time at home) which is partially why I got into the hobby. Will be interesting to see how this progresses but 6 months in and enjoying it

Yes I use to breed discus back in the mid 90's and just now getting back into it. I am looking forward to getting back into it, like a little kid in a candy store. LOL I have to wait until the end of October to purchase any discus because my wife and I leave for vacation on the 27th of this month for 18 days so I am tortured with having to wait to make my first purchase of discus until then.

Scott, most of the good sellers of discus like our Sponsors here bring fish in on a monthly basis and sell out fairly fast. If you are interested in anything in particular It would be a good idea to contact the seller ahead of time.

Thanks Al, that was definitely my plan for sure.
