    So I went to Fin and Feather on West Broad today because my brother said there were some Discus there. These guys were huge! Between 6-8 inches and he only wanted $79.99 for them. Saw a yellow one I had to have. The owner asked if I had any smaller ones that weren't blue since that is the majority of what he had. I gave him 2 of my Red Discus for this bad boy....

    Thanks! This fish is awesome and huge!!! Already eating just a little stressed from the move. Gonna give it about a week in quarantine and then move it. I started planting the other tank too! Put some Java Fern in there today. Its really green and looks really nice. Gonna get some new plants either tomorrow or Wednesday...

    I did. He wasnt doing so hot in the 29 gallon. Too big for it. I looked him over really well and figured why not. I have a boat load of meds here to treat anything they throw at me so I figured I would go ahead and move the fish. Now its eating and swimming around. Even ate some bloodworms out of my hand. I normally have a strict quarantine policy but this seemed like the best idea for the fish.
