I finally got the stomache to go and get me some discus. I off loaded some fish to a friend yesterday so that meant pleanty of room for them. I already had some babies at my brothers place, some beautiful marlboro reds, he has done a brilliant job at raising them from tiny fry and then I got 1 small blue turq and a small blue ss. I released them 15 mins ago and they are already out front pecking at the bb for food :D :D and 1 fish showing he is boss. I am very nervous so please cross all fingers and toes for me that all goes well.

Fingers and toes, knees and elbows crossed for you. :P

GOOD LUCK.

[lpiasente]

Thanks, I feel better already :)

Can I feed them or will it upset their tummy? They are looking very hard.

[Merrilyn]

If they've had a least a couple of hours to settle in, and they have only travelled for a short time, then go ahead and feed them.

If they came from interstate, after a long plane ride and then more time being driven home, don't feed them till tomorrow morning.

about an hour in the car. I will give em some nice live brine.

[Merrilyn]

They'll love you :P

It is not easy being a paranoid discus parent :lol: :lol:
Hang in there..

These guys think they have lived here all their lives. They are flat out every where bobbing up and down looking for food, very cute. I had a heavily planted tank last time but this time around it is almost bb a few floating plants and some driftwood. I am sure that they like the bb much better and the space without the plants. I missed having them around. :D
