Hello All,
its been a whirlwind week. We had bid the low reserve at a recent fish auction in Boston and to our shock/delight/surprise we won a 5 inch blue scribble.
The amount of work we put in over the need week, although challenging, has been well worth it. This certainly is a very rewarding hobby
Achilles (the scribble) seems to be doing well, he eats regularly, enjoys the driftwood-root system we created for him and for the most part plays nicely with the other fish in the aquarium (although 1 of our neon tetras has taken an extended vacation.)
We have a small community in the tank currently that doesnt seem to be bothering Achilles much, and the fish don't appear to be the worse for wear for us targetting Achille's water preferences (82-84F, 6.6-6.8pH) but we feel it is important that we halt adding other community fish and introduce a few more discus to keep Achilles company.
The problem we are having is we believe (visually) that our tank would look great with 2-3 more 3-5inch sized discus to keep Achilles comfortable (we have a 110gal 48x18x32inch)
I've been churning through the forums at a pretty rapid rate since my account got activated, but I'd love if there is anyone in the Boston Area who wouldn't mind dealing with my newest (and arguably "bestest") obsession.
