Rate my discus

nice looking ..not stunted but I would recommend a larger tank for those discus..maybe a 55..or a 75-80 and add a couple more fish.
just think how big the discus can get..6" is not an uncommon size ..I have seen 9"+
 
Yikes, that's a bummer. Yeah I have 5 discus in a 30 gallon. 50% WCs every other day. Diet of blackworms and frozen blood worms. I need to get rid of 2 or 3, but I like them so much. They're getting territorial now, too. I think at the next Silicon Valley Aquarium Society meet (every 1st sat. of the month @ Round Table Pizza on Moorpark, in San Jose - shameless plug), I'll donate my 2 pidgeon bloods for the auction.

As for price, I have no idea. $20.00? Probably 40 in an LFS.

A 55 gal. is pushing it size wise in my little condo. Maybe later this year, I'll sneak one in. I might have to up the water changes to like 70%+ every other day.

Thanks for the replies

just a FYI..discus are schooling fish..they are actually more comfortable in a shoal/group.
 
That's why I'm reluctant to remove my 2 pidgeon bloods. . .

Another option is to convert the 30 gal. and get rid of my discus . . . like that's an option.
 
i wish i could AFFORD a discus tank.
