i had a 75 gal. planted tank looking kinda empty so ..... more discus

i just sent a pm to DiscusDave asking about some discus :) yay


i have my first group of discus that were from a LFS that wern't exactly the healthiest (very skittish, kinda runted, etc.) the latest one i have from hans, i've had for about 3 months is the same size as my 1 year olds... maybe i just got a bad batch before......

so i decided to go with a sponsor this time.... wish me luck

i'll post a pic of the home they'll be going in... in a bit... maybe i'll put the old discus in there for the pic....

Great looking tank. Hard to see the guy hiding in the back though but aquascape looks great.

You've done a really good job there 2JZ ... http://www.discusfishuk.com/discusfishforum//style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif

You can just about make him out ( on the right hand side at the base of the bogwood ) ... as you say, he would probably appreciate a few more in there for company ... http://www.discusfishuk.com/discusfishforum//style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

Glad you found a sponsor and some discus! Can't wait for the others to have some company. Have fun!

Great looking tank, beautiful aquascape! The new fish will love it. If Camden hadn't replied that the guy in the back was kinda hard to see, I would have missed him completely. It was kinda like "where's waldo".:D

That is the best thing you could do is go through a sponsor if you want healthy quality discus.

Those swimming waldos look pretty darn nice and comfy in there. And I know you'll get some beauties from Discus Dave. Thanks for the update! I know sometimes it's amazing how they can seem to vanish into thin water. Every now and then something will spook mine a bit and...ta-da.....look.....empty tank! Not a discus in site! :D:D Even my son says the discus act more like puppies than fish! They keep me smiling lots!
