This is post completly donated to discus whether it is pictures or acompishments. I hope to post my pictures soo. I have a Blue Diamond, Red Turquoise, Gold Pigeon, and a Red Snake skin. I would like to trade the BD RSS and GP for 3 Red Turqs. All are 3 - 31/2 inches eating blood worms and beefheart miz. Frozen of course. Wtaer changes are 75 percent everyother day. Tank has some plants in it looking to get rid of most. Lit by a 175 watt halide filter is a dual sponge filter. Other fish are 2 angelfish, bristolnose pleco, fighter, and a bronze cory.

75 percent everyother day.

I used to change 90% every day on my 7 discus tanks. Keeping reefs after that was nuthin"

[Ryan]

Yup 30 gallons daily. My discus live in tap water so it is realy easy. I have a 30 gallon drum i fill and bubble for 24 hours. Heat it to tank temp as well this is the main reason why i can change so much.

what happened to DOOE?

[Cap'n]

He decided to try something different. Tad indecisive.

[Ryan]

Some one tried to deactivate my account so i improvised to prove those people who didnt beleive i could keep discus. Well i proved them wrong. Now i am going to move on to trying to get a breeding pair.

You proved that you could keep discus? Are you sure? Fungus after 2 days ownership - no clue how to treat it... Problems of "Bullying" resulting in you trying to trade a crap discus for 3-4 more... You must be a discus god, having kept them for all of what a month now?

When you have pictures of some >6" discus, in good health, and manage to keep them alive (All of them, no trading, no replacements due to death) for a period of over a year... Then yes, we may concede that you MIGHT be able to keep discus.

But like your cardinals, clowns, rams, angels, saltwater tanks... These too will die. Too bad your aspirations of being a breeder don't seem to. For some strange reason, you seem to always have disease and death issues but "it wasn't my fault" it's always the "Crap fish" the "Damn fish shop" etc etc etc - never the responsibility of the keeper.

A large part of fish keeping is patience, it's great to have enthusiasm and want to try new things. But repeatedly sending fish to their deaths due to your lack of research, ineptitude and ego is entirely unnacceptable.

Keeping the fish alive is a moot point. You've gotta be able to provide it a good environment and a good quality of life. Stop thinking of making money by breeding fish - and start caring for the fish.
