Hello from Indian Trail NC

Hi, Just wanted to introduce myself, I have had a FW aquarium for 4 years and recently picked up a 72 gal. bowfront, that I have installed in my LR wall where all can see. I will use my 29 gal for my acclimation tank and am very excited about raising Discus in this new tank. I am taking my time and reading as much about Discus as I can find. I will have the tank up and running in the next couple of weeks!! and so by Feb. I plan on acquiring about 25 Cardinal Tetras and shortly after that about 6 Discus. Thanks so much for this very informative site as I hope to use it to its fullest and avoid too many costly mistakes!!

Welcome to simply Jim!! I am glad you are doing your homework on here before you jump right into discus, this is a smart thing to do. Good luck on your new discus tank and after you have everything in there take some pics and share it with everyone.

Welcome and good luck with your new tank.:)
I am glad you will acclimate/quarantine the fish. If you can get the cardinals and discus together from the same place and same tank if you can, then no worries about disease transmitted from one to the other.
