Half way there

OK, last night I took my father with me to windy city discus, met the owner chris once again and first time visiting his breeding room. OMG OMG OMG this guy has his crap together, over 30 tanks, none smaller then a 20 long and biggest was a 125. he had 7-8" discus in there a good dozen of them with a dozen angels then onto the other tanks. had tons of adult breeders, some with eggs and babies some with just eggs. I was quite suprised at how often they broke the surface(adults).

We picked out 3 blue diamonds(white with irridescent blue dorsal and tail) and 3 gold/bronze looking ones with red fins, also I am picking up wild angels at a buck a piece and a pair of electric blue rams. angels and rams are for my 52, the discus he had were in with tons of different fish. in the 125 tank, he kept some neons and cardinals in with them to keep them mellow.

After seeing them full grown the 150g tank is on order as of last night.

I will take pics on saturday when I go back to pick up me new mates.

He swears by a bloodworm/beefheart mix and feeds tetramin as a treat due to its protein content.

Now, this is my question, do any of you discus owners feed kens flakes to these guys and if so what flake do you use? then the next, what is the best food to feed them? Id love to feed them and my other SA tank the same.

 

which formula are you using, seems they have a very similar diet, they will get the frozen and live but mainly as a little kicker food for growth and color, flake is loaded with great proteins. also kens has one with marine something in it to aid digestion in FW fish.

 

Rama called yesterday and sent an email, wills end another one when he gets back with his new stock.

I feed me angels and gups beefheart and my water isnt bad, its the chunks left behind after the meat is gone.

 

yeah, still waiting on that.

 

We got a 210 g w/ 55g sump last night for the discus. I am picking it up tuesday.
