Hi Heiko

Thanks very much for the advice. Will see what I can get in the plant line. I currently have another piece of wood being prepared for the other side of the tank. When it is water logged...

Thanks all

This has been a long time in the making, thanks largely to a dodgy builder. We made some alterations to our house a year back. Part of the addition was a new double garage which backs onto the new...

Am so glad you have cleared this up. He has asked me to be his contact on the African Continent. Won't go into the comments he made about you Heiko, especially during your ordeal in the Amazon. Glad...

Stunning!
What percentage of the fry are snakeskin and what percentage 9 bar?

Here's hoping you keep us posted on the new batch just as often. Greta work!!!

Hi Raymond

Congrats on the purchase and good luck.
If I could ask a few questions please:
What is the pH and other parameters of the tank they are in?

This thread continues to inspire me beyond belief! Keep up the awesome work. Your journal is really something so many folk will learn from in future.

Absolutely phenomenal thread! Congrats and thanks for all the excellent info!

Hi Gajowa

After just accepting your advice, I thought about it and with some help from experts in South Africa, realised you are refering to the Northern Hemisphere. Down here in South Africa, as...

Can honestly say they are some of the best Wilds I have ever seen...congrats!

Thank you...will condition them so long

Hi all

Has anyone had any luck with spawning wilds. I currently have 4 tanks containing about 50 discus of different strains. Except for the odd bit of shaking for each other, there has been no...

I will in due course be...

Hi Zbiljc

Very difficult to tell sometimes. I have curipera that look like alenquer and alenquer that look like curipera. I think when fish are sent from the Amazon, the possibility exists for...

Hi cugerg.
There are a few issues here...
Five tropheus will bully the weakest and within a short space of time you will start to lose them one by one, being left with the dominant male eventually....

Will give it a try.

Absolutely beautiful!! Think I need to take a leaf out of you and Merrilyns book and put some sand in too. Looks stunning!

Looks great!! Awesome work!

Congrats on your purchase and good luck with them. Hope they bring you lots of enjoyment. With regards to what you have, I definately see at least one Tefe in the photos....the others are difficult...

Hi all
Just a bit confused. Am I right in assuming that tetra bits contain astaxanthin? If so, am I also correct in assuming that this is a naturally existing product? What confuses me is that if...

Hi TW

I do try siphon the detritus off every day. That does not really constitute a water change though.

OOOOppss!
Thanks Merrilyn.
Wow, scary thought. Will do

Thanks Gajowa
I don't feed any colour enhancing food at all. Brine shrimp, tetra bits, earthworms and flake pretty much makes up their diet. The two I think you are referring to arrived with that...

I also do it every 3 or so days, at about 20%. Helps my pH stabilise too.
