Wow so it's been a while since I've Kept anything exciting.

So imagine my excitement/doubt when the owner of an aquarium sees me checking out some discus and angels and asks "you like Altums?"

Tell me more...... Well a deposit and a few days later :)

Extremely stable and good size.... Not as hard as I imagined, so far :)

Very excited to see how they turn out!

Hi,

How have gone with feeding the discus and angels. I tried it once and well my discus could never get to feed properly.
Beautiful angels, will you breed?

Cheers.

They are in quarantine tank ATM, they're feeding fine together, I just slowly feed everything until everyone gets a feed, I just make sure I keep the water clean....
