You're the only one haha, discus are impossible..makemoney will be by..

Such beautiful fish, but I hear such horror stories about keeping them. I would love one, but have no doubt i'd kill it.

They are not as difficult as people think. I do a 50% water change a week. Of that 50, 30% is RO water. I thought they were going to be extremely difficult but they aren't.

i hear you man! I've been losing tetras more than any other fish I've ever had, rams included.. It's something different with each one in the same tank too.. Discus are sick, my Lfs has 4" blood parrot and blue ones for $90, sound about right??

I saw a pair I think it was for $60 I think. Now I wonder if I should have got them..

 

[Dubs1281]

I think your thinking of pigeon blood brookster. And for 4" that's a good deal.

And delapool, if you saw a breeding pair of discus for $60 I would grab those. Breeding pairs go for $400+ and can make you $200 every two weeks!!!

I've only had them a month. Easy to keep

 

[bribo12]

I take care of a bunch at a lfs and I've realized the bigger they are the less difficult they're. The little guys need perfect water while the big guys are much more tolerant
