ok i have decide to get discus

[DigThemLows]

I've responded on a couple of your posts and you alway ignore what folks are saying..............If you try and raise discus in a 30 gallon tank you will have problems. Why not get 8 in your 75, or go for the 10 to 12.....if you do at least 50% changes in your tank daily they should be healthy adults within the first year........I would grow them out to at least 4.5" to 5" inches before putting them in the 150 gallon. If your willing to do the changes then you can push the boundaries, if you aren't then you are going to have troubles. Read lots, go to simplydiscus and ask questions and enjoy! They aren't hard to keep, they just like clean water.....

Also, why do you want to raise brine shrimp?? Not much nutrition in them for discus.

my plan is too rasie them in a 75g or like 4 30g tank then upgrade to a larger tnk around 150g thats what i state sorry if i wans't clear brine shrimp becuase i would love a freshwater pipe fish and live would be best for him i just want to know how i tihnk i found some info thanks. also i have heard aged water is a must or so is it if not that would make WC easier

also when do they mature i've heard 2-3 years thanks guys

get at least a 55 or 75 im pretty sure four 30 gallons cost more than one 55 or 75 gallon. freshwater pipe fish, what are you on about?

 

[muckieman]

oh i since i ahd this thread ans some ppl feed brine shrimp to dicus i though i ask i love pipe fish ok well my point about the sevarl 30s is it will be easier to do a 50% water change on them then a 75g i alsready have a 75g tank anyway so i migh as well go with 75g

Aged water is only needed if your KH is off and your PH isn't stable out of the tap. And again a 30 isn't big enough......

 

[muckieman]

ok well if you read my last post a bit closer (jk) i said i might as well use my 75g
