Long distance hello

[Jeroen]

Hello everybody,

Visited a few times this forum and I thought it would be time to subscribe and introduce myself.
My name is Jeroen and I am from holland.
At this moment I have 3 tanks (sorry but sizes I only now by cm)

120x55x72 showtank
120x55x60 split in two with seperated filters 1 couple fire red, 1 couple checkerboard
120x55x60 should be grown up tank, have split in two now with 1 couple marlboro/santarem and 1 couple malrboro/arancio

All couples I have not longer then 6 weeks so I guess, fire reds 3 times have eggs (is that the right word ?) but unfortunally no luck yet.
Checkerboards had eggs but were eating soon...so no either.
Another couple comes in tommorow (see attachement) I liked them a lot so bought them...if there don't breed that's fine, then I like them also a lot in my showtank.

Water values overhere are reasonble (from the tap) almost no chemicals, ph 6.8 and 210uS

My show tank is temp. I have stopped my discus hobby 9 years ago because I was short of time, now I am back to it.
If everything goed well I want to have a bigger tank (arond 1500 liters)

About me:
34yrs, Father of 2 beautifull daugthers
Have an internet company and next to that a fanatic photographer (see my websites)
At this moment I am setting up my own discus (hobby) website

Later I will post some pics

Regards
Jeroen

Hello Jeroen, and welcome. It's wonderful to have you join us. We have several international friends, some also from Holland.

You have some very beautiful fish there. Good luck with your breeding program.

Hi Ladyred,

Tanx for your warm welcome.
The breeding program...yeah, I really hope it will work out, the tapwater is pretty good so that shoudn't be the main problem.
At this moment I mix with osmose water, and that way I maintain a 150Us...should be allright for breeding (other values are ok also)
5 mated pairs...If only one of them would do I would be so happy, my favorite would the fire red's (very nice colours)
