I feed them , clean the tank, change water..pretty much keep the tank up..but only watch the discus from a distance..
Last night I installed a t-5 HO from fishneedit...then was looking at how well the t-5 HO light, lights up the tank..
I was looking at the plants closely...the discus always swim up to the front to greet me..they know I feed them..but, they had huddled to the corner farthest away from the activity..until they settled down and saw me.. all of a sudden there they were..a few inches from my face.. I then noticed how large they had become..the dominant male staring me down.. begging..I put my hand up to compare.. he was much larger than my hand..
I realized how much I had taken for granted how stunning Discus really are and how big they can get..
and this guy is no where near some of the show discus I have seen..
just a thought...
