@lock jaw there’s no way around the WC schedule. A wise man once told me “with discus you will change at least 50% 3x per week or expect problems.” I usually do more than that. Haven’t had a sick fish in years. My losses were all “natural causes.”
50-75% at least 3-4x/wk. they’re growing so I’m feeding at least 4x/day
@CichlidDan theyre learning. Got wigglers today. No way they make it past that in DC tap water I don’t think… was I tempted for a split second to get RO and turn my house into a discus farm? Of course I was.
Here’s to the end of an era, and new beginnings! I restocked the tank with 11 leopards from Miranda at Chicago Discus. Can’t recommend her enough, btw. Moved all previous cichlids to a fantastic new home. Here are the new kids!!
@etu1002 , @Londontownetropicals has great stock of both cardinals and rummies at the moment. Just picked up some of each. Reasonably priced, good size and super healthy. (No they didn’t pay me to say it :-).
but I will say this, it’s a luxury to have a LFS of that quality. Shop local!
Who are we kidding? Since you’re a veteran, do yourself and get the 6 footer, install it while she’s out, and then be rrrreal nice afterwards. Take her out, go to Florida, you know the drill :) a 3-footer ain’t gonna do it. And, you know it, hahaha
