Hello, everyone.
I just joined this forum and just got into discus as of yesterday. I've been keeping and breeding tropheus and petros for many years. I just sold my last colony of tropheus yesterday. I no longer have any tropheus or petros. I now only have two tanks. One is a 300 gallon tank that is occupied by 15 wild caught Zaires and the other is a 90 gallon tank that is occupied by 13 discus.
The discus all range from 2.5 to 3 inches. I've always wanted to keep discus. But the water parameters required by them always kept me away. Well, I've been reading that ph is not so much a factor as long as it is consistent. My ph is 7.8 and that is why I didn't want to risk keeping them. Once I feel confident that I can provide for my discus, I may convert my 300 into a discus tank also. I've had my frontosas for a while and I truly do adore them. But I really would enjoy a 300 gallon tank of discus in my living room. Which is where the 300 is now.
I'm actually going to meet Dan with Gulf Coast Discus this afternoon. I'm going to learn as much as possible. I look forward to meeting him and seeing all of his fish.
I look forward to learning from everyone on this site as well.
See you around,
John Jolley
