    Placed Order for New Discus (Kennys discus)

    WooHoo Ed, congrats! My 3-3.5" blue snakeskin juvies from Kenny a year ago are huge. I have one male that is pushing 8". Two others paired up recently and are laying eggs on the filter intake every 4 or 5 days. Can't wait to see pics of yours!

    38 Hours No Power, No Generator

    Fish showed no ill effects from being cooled down for days. Buying those battery operated Azoo air pumps was the best inexpensive purchase I have ever made for my tanks. They sat in unopened boxes for years before I needed them but I didn't have to worry about water changes during the power...

    Going into day 4 with no power in NJ after Sandy.

    Good you could move the tanks Que! Day 13 at my fiancee's house without power. But finally there are about 40 trucks in the area working to restore power. His house is ony a 10 minute ride from my house and that's where we normally stay, my house is for sale. I actually have a great reason...

    38 Hours No Power, No Generator

    Four days no power. no generator, no heat. And then there was power! And....what a beautiful sight for my eyes! When I uncovered them and started the filters back up they were still in a state of low temperature, like hibernation mode. They didn't move much with the water temp close to 60F. But...

    38 Hours No Power, No Generator

    We just got the bad news that the high voltage transformers that run back thru the fields and woods have been snapped off all around this area and it will be 2 weeks before we have electric here again. The water is down to 65 now. I don't know what to do but I know I don't want them dying a...

    38 Hours No Power, No Generator

    Hope all east coasters are faring as well as can be expected. Our lovely state of NJ will be a mess for a very long time. I'm in northwest NJ, rural area close to the Pennsylvania Border along the Delaware River. It's been 38 hours now, no power and we don't have a generator. The minute the...

    My fish are all going to die!

    Suggestions are all good. Many fish can withstand higher water temps than you would think. For me the two most critical issues would be ammonia buildup from lack of water filtration and the decreased dissolved oxygen in the warmer water. Doing frequent partial water changes as often as you...

    My discus tank - new look re-scape

    As always Paul, beautiful tank and discus! If I ever get a spare moment, I'll have to take some updated pics of my red snakeskins. They have grown and thickened up very nicely. Mine are still not full grown yet, but a few are as big, not as thick yet, as my old Big Daddy white butterfly.

    Your my boy blue....

    Aww so sorry. Beautiful fish! 8 years is a terrific long life though. My big boy is 6 I think. And he's now head of 6 subadults in the tank. They follow him around like he's their daddy. He's really healthy and I hope he lives at least 2 more years.

    Discus Emaciated

    I would be concerned about internal parasites with the spitting out of food. Apparently they can harbor intestinal parasites for a long time without symptoms until they encounter some sort of big stress trigger. I would offer the worms again just to start this discus's appetite back up again...
