Wild Green Discus

[nacra99]

No, probably should have, but I really don't have the space. I actually find wilds to be heartier than domestics. Previous wilds survived Katrina, my domestics did not.

The purpose of the QT is not so much for the benefit of the newcomers but mostly for the benefit of the fish you already have. Granted it would be very much easier to deworm, deparasite & treat the newcomers for disease in a separate bare bottom tank, but the more important reason we keep newcomers separate from existing stock for several weeks is so they won't pass any nasty cooties to the fish you already have.

Just 2 months ago i lost 5 great big altums in my 125g because I got lazy and i parked a new pair of discus in the altum tank for a day while i was rearranging QT tanks in the fishroom... i'm still in mourning.

Locally for me...New Orleans/Baton Rouge LA, but we have a pretty good group that travels to Houston for the auctions and such. I actually used to live in Houston as well.

I used to live in New Orleans. ChuckBam in covington breeds some pretty nice pigeons. Aquatic Specialties on Williams & 33rd occasionally has wilds too.

Yes, they look like my RSGs. Very nice!.. and great that they're eating well. I'd try them on other foods. Hopefully they're not terribly finicky and will accept a balanced diet. Did you get those from snook?

No I actually picked them at HAW. I had to do alot of convincing to get John to import some wilds. He has a pretty nice group of greens
