@Fishlady:
yes yes that's what I meant but I had no idea what it is called :P
Anyway I will give it a try. My discus are literally laying eggs weekly now since it's raining season.
@Alysonpeaches:
Honestly I don't find them that hard to keep even though I know that they are famous for being picky.
I kept my tank basically outdoor and it takes all the rain water. I mostly only do water changes during dry season.
The lesson I learned when I first started (I did lost some fish) is that make sure you de-worm them and give them proper treatment to avoid long term healthy issue. And give them a big enough tank because they will grow fast.
After those lessons, I never lost any discus again!! (Well I did lost 1 more but it was due to jumping :( ). In my community tank, Cardinal tetra, GBRam casualty number is higher than anything else. Never found out why they died though...
I really believe that as long as you understand, do your homework and be gentle. All fish is fine. The biggest killer of discus is stress I think.
