Hello Everyone,
I am new to this forum. Just registered today! I kept discus many years ago and just renewed my interest and love for these Royal creatures. I have a sixty-five gallon tank with six small Diamonds, one Whitefaced Red, Two Reds, one white. I also have a twenty gallon long housing a fully grown Melon and a huge Red Turquoise. I have more tanks set up when the various youngsters start to pair up. They are very active and wonderful to watch, feed and enjoy. I have two questions: I live in Miami Beach, Florida, yes SoBe, and we have great water here right out of the tap. PH bounces very quickly to about 6.5 so have to watch the water changes and I only make partial ones but more often than not I simply have to add water without a water change and this works great. Is there a dealer in the area that anyone knows of that you can refer me to that has great discus. Many years ago I used to go up to Jack Wattley's in Ft. Lauderdale and pick my discus from his very tanks. I have gone to the internet and seen that Jack has an address attached to his website here in Miami Beach and Miami. Is he still breeding discus. I have been out of the hobby for so long and I just need to know if he is around or someone that deals in his discus? My second question is how often do most of you feed your discus. I feed at the moment twice a day blood worms. thanks hope to hear from someone soon.
