Hey Everybody,
To introduce myself, my name is "Ty" and i'm new to the discus realm. I'm hoping by having joined this forum I can acquire some guidance and knowledge in the keeping of discus.
To start with a little background I am currently running a 75g aquarium, 2 #60 power filters, sand substrate, and some fake plants for hiding. I purchased my first two discus tonight from a petstore and followed their instruction on care. This is what I learned and what I plan on changing, hopefully I can get some better guidance...
- They were being fed a Omega One pelleted fish food, I plan on changing them over onto frozen bloodworms.
- They ran their tanks in the mid 70's, I plan on raising my temperatures to mid-high 80's.
- They sold me 2, and I would ultimately like to add a few more to my aquarium with time. I figured I should start "small" first in case I do something stupid (maybe I already have) and kill them.
I hope by this i'll get some feedback and i'm going to be sure to check out some of the posts on here for sure to gain some further insight!
