Again with My discus
Posted: Sat Jul 11, 2015 11:14 pm
Discus, the king of tropical fishes, I would prefer to say the queen of tropical fishes. Their beauty and their shape is the key attraction. My journey with discus started when I was in +2. I used to stay in a small subdivisional town. Internet connection was a dream for us. There was no option than a single LFS, all the modern equipments was a dream for me. Only thermostat and top filter was available. But the plus point was the water, it was the best in quality, no chloromine nor chlorine. I grew 6 Discus succefully
Well I had to leave my home town to earn my living. And after a long time approx 15 years I have started this tank from last Dec. I had no idea of plants but wanted to grow them in the tank with discus. I went as per the LFS told me. But I found that he has guided me in the wrong way.
Now about my tank. It is 3'/1.5'/2'(L/B/H). With ADA AFRICANA substrate. Two nos anubious, one water lilly and some back ground plan whose name I don't know. A must for discus is thermostat, atop filter and under gravel filter. I have fixed two T5HO of fluval today.
WC once weekly 50% WC
Food - Tetra bit complete, bio gold and earthworms.
I bought 12 no's fry of which I lost 2 due to my fault. And now all are fit and fine, doing well.
The one thing I follow is to main the temperature and weekly WC. Well this is all about my tank and now I want to grow plant in that tank. Although I will also make a planted tank in another tank of mine which is a smaller one with no pets. I am trying to arrange materials for that tank and start my project from mid October.
Love you all and in hope to get help in future for planted tank from you all.
