Hi everybody, I hope all of you enjoyed the summer which went by way to fast in my opinion. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody could PLEASE give advice on the best way to approach incorporating new discus into your already established discus tank. I personally have a 55 gallon tank with three discus and I plan on going to a breeder tomorrow and picking up two more. The only problem is I don’t know how to go about assimilating them into my tank without causing stress or harm to the discus, new and old. I have heard some ideas ranging from getting a divider and splitting them up for six weeks so they can see each other or something, but I also was told to first quarantine them in a separate tank for a certain time period, which I can do if need be. I really don’t know how to go about doing this properly, So please, if anybody has some sound advice they could give me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much, enjoy the new year. :)
