Jim and I went to Cincinnati Discus today and I just couldn't leave empty handed. As far as I can remember, ever since considering keeping discus, I have always had a fascination with the Lake Tefe gree discus. Luckily, Cinci Discus had lots of them! after an hour and a half of browsing around, I snatched up half a dozen. They are residing in a barebottom 29gal long until they are big enough to put into my 85gal planted tank.


They drip acclimated for about two hours, I fed them a little beef heart about an hour after adding them to the tank, then a little while ago I gave them half a cube of Hikari frozen bloodworms. They really tore into the bloodworms..bunch of pigs!

Quick question about food -

I have Hikari freeze-dried bloodworms and frozen bloodworms. The freeze-dried are fed to the rainbows at my parent's house. On the Dr. Foster and Smith website, the crude protein for the freeze-dried is 65.0% min. The frozen are listed as 6.0% min. If growth is my goal, why wouldn't I want to feed the freeze-dried BW over the frozen BW?

Beautiful Discus Erik! You should definately host a meeting in the future so everyone can appreciate them in person.

I can't be of much help on the bloodworm, but I do have some frozen Beefheart cubes I can give you. Though I wouldn't mind having some more Discus, I don't think I will for a long time.

Very nice work on the SWOAPE Banner in your signature also. Any chance of making it available to everyone?

Matt - folks can use this in their sigs with the [img] tags: http://swoape.org/forums/sigbanner030506.jpg

I bought a sheet of beefheart from Cinci Discus but if you are not going to use the cubes at all, I'd be glad to take them off your hands!
