Been out of fish aquarium for a long time. Just recently setup a 45 gal tank. Never kept Discus before.
Met a local Discus breeder and purchased 10 penny size discus. Well he gave me 13. It has been 2 weeks now, they started out being penny size, Some of them are just getting to be the size of a nickle. Not quite the size of a quarter yet but getting closer everyday.
Did lots of reading on the forum so far. Never changed water so often to a fish tank before. I vacuum the bottom everyday and am changing at least 10-15 gallons daily and 25 gallons every other day. Feed them very little flake food. Mostly beefheart cubes 3-4 times a day. They come right to the front of the tank when i approach the tank looking for food.
Taking my time in setting up the 125 gallon tank that will eventually house most of them.
Great site!
