Hi everyone, lots of changes in my life since I last posted here. Previously I had to give up my discus to a local breeder due to several reasons, but a couple months later I'm happy to say I am able to get back into fishkeeping.
I've accepted a new position with the city government that not only pays better than my old corporate finance job, but also will require no travel and have much more reasonable hours. I've picked up a new Aqueon 150 long for a very, very reasonable price from the LFS a couple of towns over. With the baby on the way my wife and I agreed discus will just require too much time and effort for now, even with no travelling for my job. I have however, secured a colony of extremely rare scianochromis paradise and sunsets from an old friend that I will be keeping once the new tank is set up. I will also be working with the local discus breeder to breed said colony of scianochromis, so between us we can hopefully make this rare fish more available in the states (the original fish was bred by a German breeder who doesn't like to import unless you're spending $$$$ at a time).
While not discus, I absolutely enjoyed my time with them and more importantly the people I had the pleasure of knowing here on this site. So, wanted to say hello and maybe I will be updating here soon when the fish arrive and I'm all set up. For now, here are my tanks waiting for me to build a stand and start cycling them.
Hope everyone is doing well!
