My new tank arrived at 1:30pm today. Spent a few hours setting everything up. At 6:00pm, all discus went into their new home. Had their first happy meal at 7:00pm.
Looking great peter. What are you using for filters on the tank. wow 56 discus in that tank. I feel bad keeping 9 in a 120 lol.. Keep up the good work..
I had my 20 discus in a temporary 35 gal hex tank for a week before they moved into their new home tonight. Everyone colored up in there as well as eating more, even better condition than in their previous 75 gal. As long as their water is fresh everyday with very strong filtration, they enjoy & prefer a very tight community of their own.
If you're changing that much water, I don't the tank essentially doesn't ever get cycled, so as long as the gas exchange is ok, I would think you could pack the fish in there.
After struggling for over a month with the city tap water, my two new tanks finally shed some lights. On the second day of my new discus tank set up, all of my eheim canisters were leaking, so I replaced them with HOB filters, however, the water was very cloudy all along until this week.
Before our forum big crash, my mated pair of snakeskin was breeding in my 35 hex tank but I had to remove the tank to make way for my 210G monster tank. So I put the pair back to my main discus tank and since then the pair was not happy, as I have disturbed their spawning. Today, I have decided to give them a chance to continue their breeding again in the same environment.
Thank you for your encouraging comments + viewing !!!!
Bien - I still remembered I bought my very first batch of plants from you to start my planted tanks. Your genuine plant advice to me will never be forgotten. Discus will look exceptionally good in your planted tank and they don"t need a lot of swimming space.
Harry - I will definitely keep you in mind for a mated pair. I did have a second mated pair - rose red + red spotted green, however, since I put them back in the main tank, they haven't been connecting back together at all.
