Discusguru Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 :iag: Awesome looking fish, interesting Ron says they are easier than domestic varieties, I've read they are very sensitive to poor water and hard water too. Are you using RO? Yes, they are very sensitive to poor water and hard water.Not using RO because the water is soft enough.Only using Discus buffer. Keeping excellent water quality is the key to big healthy discus so plenty of water changes and feeding a variety of food. Will be spending a lot of time on this tank of discus because they're so expensive and don't get imported much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Have you changed your mind about keeping these reef, or is this a different group of four? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I believe the cost of importing them is quite dramatic. but very rare specimens indeed especially for NZ in saying that, its pretty cool - i would if i had the money haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovmoller Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Well if the person who is selling the fish on TM is watching this thread I would like to make an offer: $1000 for the 4 fish... and don't worry I can put my money where my mouth is! Please pm me if you would like to talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 with black substrate, blackground maybe, their colour would come out a lot more. hope you get them so you can put them in an amazeballs tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
