I'm finally stepping up to the plate and finally starting my discus venture after a few years of dreaming. I happened to fall upon a Blood Pigeon that desperately needed some TLC so i took him in. I will quarantine it in a 20G until its fins are repaired and it is fat again which will give me some time to set up my actual discus tank!
So far, I'm looking at a 24x24 45G cube tank. I'm thinking 4-5 discus and my ram pairs. I'm likely to keep it bare-bottom until my discus reach adult size, then i will plan accordingly. Luckily, I've got an RODI which i will buffer with tap water for WC's and am already feeding an abundance of food between my breeding rams, reef tank, and scarlet badis pair.
The BP should be home by thursday night so i should get some pictures by then! Any advice or comments are greatly appreciated!
