Re: Ok here we go WEEK #1
The fish arrived last night. They were a little cold and there was a bit of a line-up at the border. They all came in alive, except I did lose one overnight, but the rest are doing fine now.
I gave them their first meal of frozen bloodworms this morning, they were all cleaned up by the time I got home from work. I siphoned the poop off the bottom and topped the tank back up, about a 20% w/c
They will get 2 more feedings today of mostly bloodworms. I will slowly wean them onto bh mix over the week.
here are some pics, hopefully I will get better with the camera as the weeks pass.

Re: Ok here we go WEEK #1
i noticed you keep your tank at 88 dgf. what do you keep your average adult discus tank at?

Re: Ok here we go WEEK #1
Jason,
Glad they made it....with the border issues yours were the ones I was most worried about!

Ps..
Don't worry about weaning them to beef heart;) Those guys will eat you out of cow and home...:)
Re: Ok here we go WEEK #1
Lol Hans,
Dolphin, average adult temp is 82-84dgF.
I'll drop the temp on these guys down too around 86dgF next week.
Al, they would'nt have made it unless they were in great shape and packed well to start with, I was informed that they were in an unheated cube van for quite some time.
Thank-you Al they are very nice fish! I'll try straight BH right now.
Re: Ok here we go WEEK #1

Re: Ok here we go WEEK #1
They look great, Jason! I am sure the best is yet to come;)
Re: Ok here we go WEEK #1
Hi Jason! Good luck to you and all the challengers!! I was holding my breath to be able to read your posts and find out that you received your babies in good health with the cold and the border delays that might have interfered. Looking forward to all the posts and pictures and also to learning a few things along the way!:D
Re: Ok here we go WEEK #1
They look really nice Jason. Looking forward to see more pics of them.
ps....it is a guy thing about manuals, oh don't forget about asking for directions too. lol :D
Re: Ok here we go WEEK #1
Jason's camera skills have vastly improved. There was a time when he didn't even know how to take/post pictures :D
Good luck with them. I'll be expecting lots of picture updates now that you can operate a camera :p
