To be honest I believe Heckels and other wilds do best by themselves. Geos will get too big and will have the food gone before the discus get near it. Any when the Geos start to spawn.... you are in a world of trouble(speaking from experience)
hmm, that'll only be at a later when these fellas get more stable, and hopefully more pumped up... i'll take note!
sure guys, i'll probably get some from illumnae to try if we've the chance to meet, and see how they like them... :-)

Yeah, I generally keep discus alone in groups also. You never have any problems that way.

Sure would love to see more pic's hurry up and make some posts anything yada yada yada................Jim in Ohio
Yeah ROOT.. Go ahead and get some FDBW as fast as possible.. But I'm sure pretty soon you will have to order from Al as there's simply no stopping for FDBW.
missing a last one!

Looks like a bit of bacterial finrot..newly aquired, or a fresh outbreak?....

ROOT.. looking great.. Will wait for daily updates on the fellows. Wish could travel to Singapore to see them in person.
Best of luck.
these are newly acquired (well, got them last Friday)...

thanks again man! dun think can see any difference with daily updates, i'll try to take new pics when they look more stable...
i would like to know too, i thought the fins were burnt due to pH change or something, i could see some of them with the blackish edges in the bags before i brought them home... hope nothing too serious..
Bacterial finrot is identified by the jagged, serrated look of the edge of the fin.. a dose of salt will help. It's columnaris, always present to some degree in healthy fish..stress brings outbreaks on(the usual syndrome for pathogens)....I would get it check, but if it increases, switch to a PP bath and an antibiotic....

I'd check ammonia and nitrite before doing anything else. Both should be zero.

Comfortably numb.
Furan-2 is the best locally available drug for columnaris, Root. I use it for my altums. These guys don't look at badly affected as altums usually are though
