discus

Hi Guys,   Purchased this substrate today from my LFS. The guy who sold it to me didn't know who the supplier was and what type of gravel it is or what the dimensions are?   Anyone have any ideas about where I could get something similar from or what the dimensions might be?   Thanks in advance...

Hi Guys,   So basically I have been impatient and made a mistake. 4 weeks ago I filled my empty tank with RO water and rasied the Kh to 4 and then began the cycling process. My tank is fully cycled and ready for fish as of yesterday, (I tested the Nitrate, Nitrite and Ammonia levels). And so I...

Been a minute since I've posted on here.  Have a 56 gallon tall tank stocked with 9 Discus all 2.5 to 3.5 inches  15 Rummy Nose Tetras   Finally cleaned my 75 gallon out, and I got an offer to trade my 75 for a 110 from my brother. Looking forward to moving them over to it.    30 ppm...

Hey all,   Currently where I live there are not a lot of places that have discus, and it isn't very often that they have them in the first place. They also do not carry a wide variety; I have only seen Red Turquoise in my area and Blue Turquoise. I also have no way of going outside of the area...

Hi all, I'm the new guy. I've been into fish keeping for about a year and a half now. Started with with a fighter fish in a small tank, now I have discus in a 5 footer. I'm loving this hobby and love to read on the forums and learn new things all the time. Anyway, look forward to interacting...

I've been owning cichlids for over 2 years and I think I'm finally experienced enough to own a Discus. I have a 55 gallon tank with 2 smaller Blood parrots. One of them is a little aggressive but the other one is pretty calm. My other tank is a 40 gallon with a Jewel, Johanni, Yellow Lab, and...

Alright I have a 55 gallon tank with 2 discus, 2 angels, 1 rainbow shark, 1 small snail, 1 small regular pleco, and now 4 glofish(zebra danios), 5 glofish(tetras), and 6 glass fish. the glofish are dying one by one and they seem more aggressive then they should be towards each other ONLY. I had...

Hi all,   I'm keen to get opinions on suitable tank mates for Discus.   My current set-up: 200L tank, 2 striped Dora, 2 guppies (at least what I was told were guppies although mine are extremely "square" looking) and a Golden Loach (that I hate) - These fish all came with my tank and were not...

Hi, I have an algae problem in my tank and was wandering what fish will eat the string/hair algae and is compatible with discus? I have a SAE but it doesn't look like he's eating any algae.  I have done many water changes but the algae always comes back, I am also limiting my lights to be on for...

If it matters, I'm talking about tank-bred red turquoise discus.   What is the maximum nitrate level they can tolerate before I need to do a water change?

  I've always LOVED discus and wanted to keep them but I always tell myself "mehh I'ma needa buy a RO filter (the water hardness in my area is 300ppm)" and "i'm'a have to do daily water changes" and all that. but then i just talked to my friend (who lives in my area) who has been maintaining a...

I have German Blue Rams from ages 1 week to 9 months old but would like to explore raising Discus.   Would anyone like to trade?

I tend to rotate my fishes diets between discus granules and two different types of tropical flakes.   As i've ran out of one of the types of tropical flakes i've been giving them more discus granules than they'd normally get regularly. The problem is i've noticed that the platies (2 female...

Hey guys, I know the majority of you reading this probably only clicked on this to discourage me or tell me not to, but for those that aren't: The other day i got a new tank and instantly wanted more discus, as they are my favorite fish and the one i've kept for the longest, but then i...
