new2discus Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Thanks for that Dixon, i'm still new to this, and working on a Mac which makes life a little more difficult! Maybe next time i'll be able to get them to a reasonable size! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caper Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Great looking Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsniper86 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 That looks great. Hope mine turns out as good as yours. Where'd you get the wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2discus Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I will be doing 25% water changes every 2-3 days, unless someone tells me i need to do more! Bought the left piece of wood off TM and the right from HFF - had to chop about 3cm off the tall piece and it still only just fits under the lids! Cant wait to put the discus in! (especially with pupuke having a special on them at the moment!) thanks for the comments guys, good to know im on the right track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 theres a guy on trademe that has a fewq differemt colours of discus around the $30-50 mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I'd recommend the quality of the discus from Pupuke much more than the ones on TradeMe. The $30-50 ones start at 3cm and you really do pay for size when buying discus. Smaller ones die easier and I think that's nuff said.

evilknieval69 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Yep definately. The ones from Pupuke probably came from Ronnie originally anyway so they will of much better quality than anything on trademe...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2discus Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Was planning on staying clear of basically any from TM, but especially the small ones after you warned me about him Blue, have sent Ron an email but waiting for reply, Blue did you get my email??
