reptilez Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Love the look of wild discus, did you import the discus yourself or buy them in New Zealand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I know what springs to mind when I think rare catfish.... Looking forward to seeing it progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 imported them few months ago, They are doing very well, easy to keep, only change water every two weeks. Hope to get gravel soon and then add water, will let it settle for two weeks and then add fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reef Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Far easier than captive breed Discus, I only feed pellets and sometimes bloodworm and mysis shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reptilez Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 This tank is going to have my top two favourite fish in by far. Looking forward to see the end product! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 That stock would look amazing in a more "authentic" looking set up with more rocks, more wood and less plants IMO, but I'm sure a densely plated tank will look great too.

reef Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Yea looking to add more drift wood, looking to have jave fern, Anubias, and few others, not looking to add to many plants, Want to keep the front clear of plants so that is will be easy to clean and left over food.
