Bad mistake a few people do is see a nice discus buy it bring it home and you find out its full of internal worms/parasites.
Please hold onto all new discus you buy in bare bottom tank and observe them for week. They might be scratching on objects or pooing white etc.... so will need to treat them before you place them into your main display tank.
I got some Rod Lewis Discus arriving tomorrow I cant wait :) If I am not too lazy I will take pics of them all and post them for you to see.
Rod is just a superb discus seller, I requested if he can deworm and deparasite them for me, Rod did :)
Not many discus sellers if any will worm/parasite treat there discus before selling to the public. I wish it was a lot more common practice........... saves me the headache.
Wish you all the best shakadog its a very addictive hobby and very rewarding :)
