Thank you for you complements, I hate to say it but I spent alot of Discus but from my understanding playing chemist is the best way unless trying to breed because of the fact the ph could rise of fall to fast and kill them. I heard it is better to just get a breeder that has similiar water qualities and feed them what he/she does etc. I bought my last batch from from a guy who buys discus hans mated pairs and sells the offspring for CHEAP. I can get you his info, if you want sometime. He charged me I think 14-17$ a piece with a 70$ shipping charge. It was an very good price since I got so many it all equalled out to like 23$ a piece. Sadly, like I previously stated, I learned how to keep them buy losing so many to so many different things like ICH before I started keeping them in very warm temperature tanks, several to waterchanges with to much water, some to eating too much and getting swimmers bladder etc, and I think some to my PPM being to high killing them. SO if you have any questions, ask away because I rather some one learn from my mistakes because it did cost me a fortune
