    Hi, and welcome.

    How about heading over to the New Members section and introducing yourself, and telling us about your fish keeping experience. With maybe some photos of your set up. :)

    Re the Discus, try the sponsors, Marco or pHish_man. They could possibly help.

    Hey man, you just missed a huge Tan shipment of discus a lot of us got through @Marco by a month (think it was 350 in total) :(. Good luck with your search, and be patient... most discus you can get locally will be bad quality so it may be worth waiting for the next shipment to come in ( if Macro regains his strength after this mission :p )

    Disclaimer: by most discus I mean those bought in LFS or bred by beginners.

    I think EVERYONE that got the discus in this shipment now wants more. Tells you something about the quality of the fish and service from Marco doesn't it :D

    Just word of caution always quarantine new discus 4-6 weeks.then take 1 from each tank and put them together to see if any pathogen clash.just to be safe.lovely discus though

    Nice fish man. Just watch out for peppering on your pigeon bloods in such a dark tank, and what @jc16 said, you might run into trouble so heads up. Your turqs are a bit on the darkish side but it could just be the dark tank or from the traveling still. How long have they been in there?

    Ok. Not trying to stress you haha. The seem fine. It must be the tank then as discus will go darker in a dark tank. Dark meaning substrate and background. If they are not heater hovering they are fine and it seems that they swim around without a bother in the world. Again...very nice fish.

    Which one is the alpha?

    Very nice

    Did you QT first?
    It's a big risk mixing Discus from different sources.
