Since some people might want to live the experience through someone else's shoes, (not invest before knowing the facts) I thought it would be best to show my discoveries of being a discus owner. This will be a journal of daily discus activity. It all started on day 1.
Day 1: Today, I purchased my discus from an aquarium only store in Springfield, MO - Cichlids & Salt. Very nice place, and the owner was a handfull of knowledge. I brought home 5 discus, -1 Scribble (snakeskin), 1 King Cobra (snakeskin with a tighter design pattern, 1 Bold Red Universe, 1 Red Pigeon (Red Morolboro), and 1 Blue Neon.
So far, the experience has been great. I got them home, acclimated them in the 85 gallon tank for 1 hour, and they have been swimming around curiously. I even gave it a go for feeding them a tiny bit to make sure they would willingly accept food, and sure enough, they chowed down!
The total price for these fish was $205. I got a discount of about $5 per fish for buying in bulk.
Stay tuned for more posts. Looks like I just made it before tomorrow.
