TornadoSport260 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 The empty tank Rhea & Aphrodite Themis & Oceanus Apollo Alot of time and money, to get it to this level and i'm still working on it. Next is a hood to cover the lighting and top of the tank. Dad (Warren) helped with the building of the stand for the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manderson Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 That's a mighty good looking set of fish! Discus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoSport260 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yep you guessed it. They are discus. Rhea & Aphrodite are both Red Turquoise Discus. About 8cm length Themis & Oceanus are both Pearl Pigeon Discus. About 9-10cm length Apollo is a Brown Turquoise Discus. About 9cm length Poseidon is an Yellow faced Red Melon Discus. About 10-11cm length Hera is a Pigeon Blood Discus (clean ie. no peppering). About 17cm length Hermes is a Leopard Discus. About 15-16cm length I also have a 9th but no photos, its a small Brown Snakeskin Discus. About 5-6cm length. They live with 20 lemon tetras, 2 rummynose & 6 small Bristlenose catfish (1 common, 5 albino). The tank is 4ftx2ftx2ft with an Aqua One CF1200 (1200lph) canister & an Eheim 2217 (1000lph) canister. As for plants I have 3 big anubias, 5 small anubias nana & 2 bunched of Ambulia. All lighted with a 4ft T5HE light (i went with High Efficency rather than the High Output to keep my electricity bill in check). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sando Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 They are all undersized according to NSW Fisheries (Flounder & Sole Flounders and Soles 25cm) Better throw them back in Lake Illawarra on Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manderson Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Wow, quite a collection! we have a 5foot tank with about 15 mixed tropicals in there and 2 x bristlenose also. We have heaps of fun with them. Quite expressive little bunch. Nothing as fancy as the discus though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NixonJr Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 We used to have a goldfish Always wanted a bigger tank and some fish like these, What do you do when you go away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoSport260 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Battery powered Eheim Auto Fish Feeder stocked with Sera Discus pellets. The batteries are good for 30days but if its just a weekend away I dont bother because Discus are known for going on 1-2week fasts so 2days is nothing for them.
