I'm a newbie living in Midlothian, VA. In fact, I don't have any fish yet! I'm still learning and reading and trying to visit some others to check out their setup. I just stumbled on this section of Simply that lists some of the discus folks from VA! I hope to visit some of you soon!
Planning a nice setup will be important for us! Architect wife will demand that it "looks good". I don't mind putting in the the time and money but I want to make everything as easy as possible. I travel from time to time and I have learned (with orchids) that I shouldn't depend heavily on family and friends to tend the chores in my absence!
Water changes, feeding regimen and water chemistry intimidate me the most. I want to ensure I can dedicate adequate resources to the hobby before I can commit! I may have to lay off a couple of hobbys before I can take on this one!!! Maybe some of you know what I mean!
Thanks to all for your help so far. This is a great and helpful group. I have yet to PM or email anyone and not have them respond enthusiastically!
