I'm moving across the country in a few months, and so I'm probably gonna get rid of my AC's, rather than lugging them with me. I'm thinking about getting Discus, but have a few questions before I take the plunge and go buy an RO/DI unit-
-How quickly do discus grow?
-If I stock the tank (70g) with ~6 2-3" juvies, will I end up with a breeding pair or two by the time they mature? Would they breed successfully in the main tank, or would I need to move them to a bare 20g to get viable fry?
-Would a shoal be able to handle a move across town after a year?
-I have alot of lava rock as a background in my tank, and it's not coming out. (read as, it was such a time consuming pain in the ass to arrange and glue it in there, that I'd never take it out again) - Will the lava rock mess with the ro water? It's been in a tank for over a year, so it doesn't leach anything into the water now, but I have really hard water.
-What would be a good species to start with? If I want to breed them, should I get only a single species?
Thanks for any advice/answers you guys might have!
