I've certainly been there! Took a while to get sorted and in the end it gets down to looking after the water and avoiding the temptation to "save" by buying juvies.

Welcome.

Cheers,

Hey Guys, thanks all for the welcome.

Im going to try post the photos of the 4 blue diamonds i have had for about a week, so hopefully they load on here.

They are a little shy still but do come out about 5 minutes after i walk past and eat like pigs which is great.

Water parameters are very good, about 5ppm of nitrate is the max it gets to all else 0. im doing 20-30% water change every 3 days.

Talk about getting the bugg for discus, im going to go from a 40 gallon, to a 4x18x18 tank, so 70 gallons?? So hoping to go another 5 or 6 juvies and grow them up in it within the next month because i want more! lol
