I received the challenge discus today I have never seen discus settle in so quickly. 5 minutes after releasing into tank they started roaming around and picking at the filters. The shipping and condition of them was perfect, not a fin out of place LoL. I checked the temperature 85 deg, so adjusting was easy. I was thinking on my way home from fedex, these fish could not have a better start. Being raised in Forrest hatchery then a few weeks at Kenny's and two weeks at Al's. They are some lucky discus. I only hope I do not disappoint them The shape of these guys is real nice and looking healthy. My water parameters are ph 7.0-temp 85.5-mS .44/tds 300. I used new seeded sponges from a clean tank which I feed with NH4OH. I still have to add the sand and trickle filter to this set up, but I will wait as I want the sponge filter to adjust to the new bio load and not to add too much current. This tank is not connected to any other tanks and will stay that way. I took a few pictures of these guys 2-3 minutes after being released. I will keep the lights out and stay away from them until tomorrow. They will not be feed today. I will post pictures tomorrow once they settle in. I am so happy It is a blessing to know people like Forrest, Kenny, Al and Ryan, you guys are the best. I can not thank you enough. This is going to be such a great experience. Now I am off to have a few beers and shoot some pool. Thanks for reading.

Here is a few of them hanging out. They are very cute Every time I even come close to there tank they all dash to the front corner begging for food LoL. I would not be surprised if I find one of them flipping across the floor trying to get to the fridge. These guys have great shape and are settled in nicely. I feed them this morning some bw. I will feed them 2x today and see how they look. I will do a 20% w/c tonight. The eyes are real cool, kinda look like pin wheels. I am very pleased with them.
