*drools* great fish

[superjohnny]

As usual Joe, your water looks dirty and your fish look ugly.

You may as well give up the hobby and just give your stuff to me :p

[Flohrie]

LOL!!!!:D I thought I had first dibs. I think we should Rock, Paper, Scissors for his stuff.:p :D

Actually, your tank and pics always look great.

[Slappy*McFish]

I agree with the others...your tank is filthy and your fish look terrible.





But I would be glad to take them off your hands, as well, when you decide you just weren't cut out for this hobby.:p

[Woozledad]

[cdawson]

ah if only you didn't have to put a second mortgage on your house to buy a school of discus....=)

LOL!! That is too funny!!

[rdelbalso]

Wow. Those are so beautiful. I too wish you didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for discus. That blue is so stunning.

[tricksterpup]

So are these ugly things going in your pond for the summer?

[RCA]

wow! great pics as usual!!
What's your secret on keeping beautiful fish like those? :)

Thanks ALL for the compliments!!
It does mean a lot...! :) Discus are not that hard to take care of, knowing the conditions they need. Water changes, and "hot" water 85 - 87 degrees is about right. (82 is borderline)..

Discus are rather expensive at $20 to 35$ each..(I've seen $200.00ea.). (US Dollars)..
I'm sure they can be bought for less... (quality?)

I hope the price doesn't discourage those that want to have these fish - as they are unique and not as skittish and paraniod as some think they are.

They just need slightly warmer water, and "cleaner" water.

That is one of the nicest Discus ive ever seen. Where did you get them a LFS??? Man I would get some if I had the money and tank space and new all the water requirements and how to meat those requirements.

I searched for a few months for quality Discus, and no luck...
The Discus I have are from - Discus Dream (http://www.adiscusdream.com/) ...
All 8 delivered in excellent health, no problems at all. :)

[GEV83]

Thanks for the sight. You fish looks nicer then the ones they have pictured. I like these one never seen these before. Its a Red San Merah. They are out of stock though and hust found out they are the most expensive ones they have.

Yup! As usual, un-friggin'-believable! Those pics could make me think about having discus! Personally, I prefer my flap-jacks in the pan!:p
