Hey Fred, my friend,
looks very good. This will be great. Try to get them to eat food with fruit elements. Think that just Heckel feel great with lots of vitamins. Especially when it's breed times. Impressive aquarium! Wish you the best Patrik

Hey Patrik buddy, nice to see you here , thanks. I'm glad you like them. Yes Fruits is in the plan, I have a fish mixture with fruits and Vegetable that I plan to introduce in the next few days. As for pieces of fruits any particular you recommend ?
The Heckels have come to see me as the guy that makes the food fall from the sky, They now come at the top and take the the FDBW. I have introduce some Discus Gran pellets that they are starting to take and some small pieces of flakes also.
PH has been lowered to 5.9... Will continue to lower it slowly and aiming to get it in the low 5 at the end of the week.
Cheers,
Fred
Yes I know jack, but the Heckels don't know yet what the cube is made of... I'm sure in a couple of days they will :-)
Well the way my basement stairs are right now the longest tank I can bring down is 50 inch long... So A 50X30X22 made sense, but it would need to be custom built. I know down the line I want bigger, much bigger and a Plywood tank is one possibility. I figured might as well do a test build with the 50X30X22 and see how it goes. So far I think I will build the monster tank in the same way but with some minor tweeks. definitely will use weaved cloth next time.
Cheers
Fred
ah, makes sense. guess you could try acrylic too if you wanted to custom build.
Hello,
Is also here sometimes Trying to avoid Facebook , im so tired of facebook.
I have various own food mixes to my Heckel.
In essence, I have always cod, clams and shrimp.
A mix I've just different berries and then I take what I find.
Blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, lingonberries, etc., just drive on.
Then I have a mix, with just different fruits.
Banana, pineapple, pear and so on. Just and test.
Then a third mix mixed with both fruits and berries, as well as spirulina.
I run every third day.
Which I think is very good for the stomach on the discus.
Just like people need to fish a healthy stomach to feel good.

Now its time to really work on the flakes and pellets... They do eat them but only when they are at the bottom and soft.
Also going to continue to introduce my seafood mix... It wasn't a success last night, but this is a long process :-)

nice. i made the mistake of cutting some cubes into smaller pieces, when i do that...it doesn't hold to the glass very long
now teach them to breed and ship me some juvies !
and i'll send you some jungle val, its my own strain, giant val laced with about 4 types of algae... its very rare ; )
Here's a small video update, all are doing well and eating more and more pellets.
They are looking great Fred. How are you dropping the ph?

Fred,
They are very pretty indeed and looking absolutely lively for wilds being in a new environment only for a week or so.
I quite like their overall appearance, looks like you're lucky with this lot.
My word of advice is to feed them on a very varied diet. Also, calculate the need for water changes, then take the result and double it.
