The Discus Chronicles

[discuskeeper08]

I'm happy to say that I am back in the discus game! Yesterday I picked up 5 healthy discus from Mike Beals, and I must say he is an excellent sponsor who is very fair with his prices.

Now for some details about the tank
Size: 75 gal
Temp: 85*F
Filtration: 2 large sponge filters and 1 HOB Whisper 60
Ph: 7.2
Fauna: 5 Discus (1 red melon, 1 snow white, 1 checkerboard, 2 mosaics), 1 female bushynose pleco
Maintanence: I plan on doing a 20% waterchange daily
Feeding schedule: My automatic feeder gives them pellets at 9am and 12 pm, and I give them bloodworms at 3pm, 5, 7, and 9.

When I added them in the water they decided to explore it as a group
