Thankyou yes i am pleased with the way they have settled you are right it is very addictive i have over 60 discus and have raised spawns also, very rewarding but as you say quality is paramount. so much work goes into breeding the fish must be quality or not worth the hassle.

Thankyou for your nice comments guys i will up date with pics as they grow.I think they will be stunning when fully grown out.

Thankyou yes they are very rewarding fish i will enjoy watching these guys grow .Im fast running out of room because i keep getting more discus so keep needing more tanks :lol:

I just thought id share some pics of my new fish from Vincent Discus.Vincent was great to deal with and really cares about the fish he sells. These are pics from the day after arrival these guys settled in like they had always been there .

I dont go away if i do i do not feed for 3 days before i go do w/c on the day i go and they are fine for several days hungry but fine.

Whatever you do please dont be tempted to "rescue" any sad lfs discus start with healthy well bread fish these may cost more but will save you money and heart ache in the long run .Try pm Vincent discus i just recieved a shipment from him and im very impressed.

Awsome thats great to know we going away end of july ill keep in touch if we need u.Id give you plenty of notice Cheers Tanya

My salon assistant did the creative nail corse(paid for by her mum and dad :-? )She had intentions of working from my hairdressing salon(well established with huge client base). Things never really took off for her there was just not enough work coming in for her to cover her costs I dont mean to put a damper on what you want to do and i know different people can make things work or not work.I just wanted to give you her experience. Also the quick cheep in and out nail service in the richmond mall is very hard to compete with. In saying all that i do wish you well in whatever you chose to do Tanya

I knew what you ment Jim

Yup just a big fatty tum with a mouth and puppy dog eyes oh and rudder lol

As others have said if you need an outlet postem my way also any costs covered

Why yes it would Jim lol just had to put brain in gear

Ive always used 2x 50mg tablets per 10g ,itll also rid of any tapeworms if present.

Thanks Luke it was a nightmare getting it in the house

OOl just had a thought i have spare tanks what sort of fish are they i could pick up and care for them till i come down or even better i am confident with shipping have oxygen heat packs polyboxes etc i could ship for you if you cover costs either way i no mind i just know what its like when you want fish and cany get to em lol

bump

If your willing to pick up in chch and you let me know what size ill see what i can do

Yeah cobden beach rocks i could beach comb for days there lol

Hi ya we are travelling from Nelson to Chch on the 25th july taking the train up to Greymouth and back to Chch then returning to Nelson happy to transport anything (legal) 8) can also supply heat pacs and polyboxes if needed. Tanya

Yes the protein is fine but its the fat that cannot be digested and accumlates around organs ,not good. Beef heart is fine well trimmed,i use beef heart with raw prawns (these make excellent binder if raw,i throw in some fish of some sort salmon/tuna/cod some mussles and spinich or peas or whatever i have lol everything is raw though HTH Tanya

Sounds ok but i wouldnt be using beef even though it looks lean it contains too much fat and discus cannot digest it .Just my opinion tho

In my experience using levamisole i have found it to be a light sensitive med and fish will go off food for a few days after using.Hope it does the trick
