Hey Hey

I'm new here today.. and i'm 19yrs old female, that lives on te gold coast and the sunshine coast in qld. I have a 2ft tank with a huge angel fish, a ghost knife, a rainbow shark, a sailfin pleco, and 3 big ugly suckers!! I want to get rid of 2 suckers and the angel fish and instead i want a red melon pigeon blood discus... if i can ever find one that isnt like $160.00. Anyways Just thought i'd drop everyone a line and introduce myself. By the way my real names Jade and i'm a law student at bond.

Chat soon
:D

hi jade,
welcome, if you want to buy a discus, sometimes coryfan sells some, his pidgeon blood discus just spawned the other day, but im sure if you ask around you will find one

Hi Jade,
Sorry but your Black Ghost isn't a good tank mate for Discus and the Gibbie may be a bit of a problem too as they sometimes get a taste for sucking the slime off Discus.
If after all this you still want a Discus Jaynee is the one to contact.
Cheers Linda

Hey Jade,

Welcome, good to see a few more ladies taking to the forum.
As for discus, if you cant find anything from any of the member here you will be able to get in contact with a few of the sponsers. There banners are shown on the top of each page. A few of them stock good size discus.

Enjoy,

Adam

Hey

Thanks guys, nice to meet you all too. I'm in no hurry to get a discus, kinda happy with what i have now, but i do really like them.

Hi Jade and welcome,Knifes get a bit snappy as they get bigger. I had 2 small discus in a 4fter with mine and he wasnt real friendly towards them, (tho he gets on fine with neons so go figure).My knife is only 12cm .
Also discus like quite warm water,27,28 degrees I think. I tried them in my community tank and they didnt survive, such beautifull fish really deserve a tank to themselves ( big one too they grow!)where you can tailor water chemistry and temp to their needs.
I reckon keep your Knife, mine is so tame he sits in my hand even if I lift him out of the water, and what fish looks so cool swimming?
