    Default Silver discus?

    I was at a friend's place yesterday and he showed me his silver discus. I must admit the shape is a bit odd for a discus, but it sure does seem to fit in with the others

    So, I have to ask..............does anyone else have any monos living (quite happily I must add) in their discus tank

    10 points to the first person who can figure out what's wrong with this picture - no photoshopping and the mono does live in that tank.

    Monos are brackish when they get older, but I figured they were small enough and if he adds salts for the discus that wouldnt be it.. It must be the tank isn't at her house

    Hi Lisa:

    Yeah, April was right. That mono really shouldn't be as happy as it is in all that freshwater - usually 2 50% waterchanges PER DAY It is growing up thinking and acting like it's a discus.....pretty much like a certain altum grew up thinking and acting like it was a discus It's very bizarre to see it so well settled in that tank.

    The only salt the tank gets is 2 tablespoons of epsom salts for the entire 240 gallons. I put more salt on my fries

    And you're right - his discus are gorgeous. Here's another quick video of them.

    I recognize the old man of that tank! And I remember a Mono being mentioned before. That's hilarious. The tanglewood forest gives it away too. Should have taken a video of the plecos.

    No one would believe it The zebras are the largest zebras I have ever seen (I had my last zebra for eight years so I know how big they get) and the colors are anything but washed out; very vivid black and white. I know I saw a gravid female zebra yesterday - I have absolutely no doubt. Yes, I'll admit it....I do dream of that tank

    I may be mistaken but I think he got them all as dime sized culls in a grab-bag at some auction I think u should start branding them or a nice store tat would also do

    Some store way out in Dunbar that keeps fueling the problem that us addicts have All except for two "orphans", one from Shelley and one from IPU's display tank
