Catch ya's round

[...]

Hey everyone.

As a 1 tank bloke these days, I am writing to say that I have made the switch from cypho's to Asian bred discus for my 125 gal. I have enjoyed my time as a moderator on this forum almost since it's inception, and think Drew has done a great job with the site. I will check in here periodically but since there was little interest in my cyphos I cannot imagine there would be much interest in my new discus...actually there isn't even a section for fish other than African cichlids or SW LOL. 

So take care everyone, happy fish keeping, and God bless. I love this hobby!

Wow those are some beautiful discus super colorful. Hope all goes swimmingly for you (fish pun😆)

Thanks Brian! They have settled in nicely and have 2 pairs formed and laid eggs in the 1st week, LOL. That was an unexpectedly nice surprise, though I'm not set up for breeding or raising discus fry.
Take it easy mate!

Good luck with the Discus, they look lovely. Think we all need fresh challenges from time to time. Keep in touch though because you have a wealth of experience.

I would hope that you would stick around some to continue sharing some of the knowledge I have seen you contribute in other threads. I also wouldn't mind seeing more about your discus from time to time. I'm a Tang only kinda guy these days (hence my user name but that doesn't mean that I don't like reading about other fish. Recently saw a youtube video of a large shipment of newly imported discus being unpacked. Some really cool stuff and lots of types that I did not know existed. Your fish look amazing. What types do you have and do you have to worry about interbreeding like some tropheus combos?

G'day mate. I will check in here and there for sure.

I have 2 red melons, 2 albino red cover, 1 royal yellow, 1 marlboro yellow, and 1 red panda. Inter breeding discus is not an issue, as all the variety of colors and patterns you see are from line breeding and crossing the 4 species of wild discus. I don't know much about discus genetics but it appears very complex. When breeding you get interesting throw backs to previous variants. I have a pair already that had wigglers last weekend but ate them. They spawned again this am, the 5th time in 4 weeks. Lots to discover and learn on this part of my 37 yr fish journey. One of the reason why I love the hobby so much.
Catch a ya soon enough for sure!
