Well…the updates are not good in my little world. They could be worse so I will explain. The tank was great. Everyone that is in the tank at this moment is doing well. The bad part comes from the fish that I just lost. A couple days after I posted the pictures, I was notified that the discus that I had requested through my LFS had come in. I was stoked. I went in to the shop to find that they had in fact ordered 8 or 10 discus including mine. Picked them up and took them home where I went through the full process. Two hours of drip acclimation, no lights for more than four hours, low lights after that etc. etc. The first 12 hours seemed to be fine. I noticed towards the tail end of that evening that they seemed to really remove themselves and hide, they seemed lethargic and refused to eat the small amount that I offered them. I passed this off initially as shipping stress. The next day however they continued to be lethargic and refuse to eat. Knowing discus to be picky about water parameters, I tested only to find perfect numbers. Over the next couple days things remained the same with me stressing more and more. I was testing the water repeatedly throughout the day, made a couple PWC’s and watched everyone in the tank for hours looking for any abnormalities. This is where it got more frustrating for me because the discus that had already been in the tank was better than ever. It was energetic, eating like crazy, explorative and interactive along with all of the others that were in the tank. After a couple more days of the same, they were gone. Much to my frustration and the sadness of my 4 year old who had already named them. The bright light at the end of the tunnel actually came today. I had not had a chance to go down to my LFS since purchase so I had not talked to the owner. I found out that it had been a bad batch of fish and they had lost nearly all of the discus that they had ordered for no apparent reason with similar symptoms. So it looks like it wasn’t my fault or my tank like I had been worried about. The shop is even going to credit me so that I can replace them. I am now waiting patiently to make sure that the bad fish didn’t leave anything behind in my tank and I will pick up a couple again. Here is hoping that it is with better results.
