Damn it, I was gonna say that.
Norwegion = yellow, dunhill, water, cats Dane = blue, blend, tea, horses Brit = red, pall mall, milk, birds German = green, prince, coffee, fish(only one withought information for pet) Swede = white, blue master,beer, dogs
I put the houses in order then looked at the possibles and made a little chart thingy

Discus! Cool.
I used to breed Discus in the mid-Eighties.
A fascinating fish, indeed. In my opinion, the most beautiful of all the freshwater fish, but definitely challenging to keep healthy, let alone to try to breed.
As you probably know already, the two biggest secrets to keeping Discus healthy are:
1) Temperature. Discus are extremely sensitive to water that is too cold, and require a higher temperature than any other commonly-kept aquarium fish.
2) Water quality. I used to do a 1/3 water change every 5 days or so, and had mega-filtration running constantly.
Do you have any plans to breed them?

I hope they don't spawn, it's a pain. I had a pair of green terrors who spawned every three or four weeks. I have a nice eheim pro II canister filter, but I was unaware of the massive water changes neccesary, so thanks for the info, they're at 82 degrees and are acting like a pair (performing mating rituals), but I think they are both females...(I've had lesbian fish before, maybe these two are) I've been feeding them bloodworms, but want to wean them to pellets... I got a pretty good book about discus written by a local guy... sorry to take your thread off topic zeta, it's a good one, but I was too tired last night to figure it out!!! The two are in a 40 gal, so 15 gal a week should suffice????  I read about the 1/3 every five days but that was in the section for spawning... Should I hook up a bio filter as well? The canister is rated for 80 gal or something, I had it running in my 70 gal tank in which I kept my oscar, but he/she went belly up due to the fact the tank was at my parent's house and I only went there every 2 weeks or so, and my mom didn't really help out much... would you pm me so we don't gum up this thread????? RIP my green terror, he was the most beautiful green terror I have ever seen, even more beautiful than pics I've seen of show fish on the web... Poor Piggie lept to his death, I named him piggie because he would always try to get me to over feed him, by pretending to not see the sinking pellets, then going after them later when I left the room...
