New Discus

[T Fades]

Hi all,

Been a while since I've posted, and wanted to share the last addition to my 80g fw planted tank.

I'm stoked about my new discus.

I'd be stroked over him too. He is beautiful.

Very nice Discus. I want to try my hand at them myself. Where did you get the Discus?

[WhiteDevil]

HE is very nice!

only one though?

[T Fades]

Thanks Hobbs, for moving to the appropriate place.

I got him at one of my lfs here in L.A. They are crazy expensive here, at $100 each, but I know the guy at the lfs, and got him for about $60. I hope to get a couple more, but at the price they are selling them, it is gonna be a slow increase. I probably should find a new home for maybe my scissortails or glass cats, as I don't want to overcrowd anybody.

A group would be a good idea, but yeah, I know how expensive they can be.

As for the other fish, keep an eye on the gourami. Also, is that a siamese algae eater I saw in the photo? Keep an eye on him to, they can get aggressive.

LA has a ton of fish clubs, google SCAPE(southern california aquatic plant enthusists) I know they have swaps often and to be honest, the bigger the discus the more it costs, I buy mine around 1.5"-2" for a cost of about $25 each.

I've always wanted to start a discus tank.

I set-up a SW tank instead

Now, after seeing your pics, I want to get a third tank (discus tank)

You discus looks great

[Spardas]

Nice tank!

What's the specs of the tank?
