NEW CICHLIDS

[Cichlid-Man]

I think i am going to go for the Discus and sell all of my other fish away.

I want to concentrate my time souly on Discus so they stay alive....once i get it down pat i might get other kinds of fish again.

how come those discus are so hard to keep alive?

Discus aren't nearly as difficult to keep as they are made out to be. Although it's not a good idea for the inexperienced hobbyist to keep them, I wouldn't say it's reserved solely for the experts. Mine are very happy and I don't use RO water or anything like that. It's a 45G heavily planted tank, with a whisper power filter on it that uses peat as the media. I change the water only once a week, and they are very happy and healthy.

What size are they? where did you get them? got pics?

They arn't as hard i know but they do take "time and TLC" as fishboy put it.
