Hi guys,
I didn't post something since a long time.
I have a small story. A friend of mine order 8 months ago 7 discus coming from China. They had a long and hard trip to Congo and they arrived in really bad shape.
Slowly they all died, leaving only one member of the group alive.
Yesterday I went to his house (it was his birthday), and saw his tank with a lot of tilipias the biggest one was 40 cm long (huuuuge). The discus was terrorize in one of the corner of the tank, skin completely dark and a belly empty, I could clearly see that the fish didn't eat for long time as he was completely terrorize.
So I decided to save that discus and give him a better life.
So I went back home turn off the CO2 of my tank, good aeration of the water, after mixing water for 1,5 hours I have put the fish in the tank. In peace with no other fishes.
Now start the journey to save him.
I have put him in my scaping tank 90x40x50 high tech, but the down side is that i don't want to ruin my new scape (going since a month and going well) so I don't want to cut on my routine that is working well (24/7 CO2, 80% WC per week, 2x EI with MgSo4 et Ca). I am afraid that if I keep it in this tank I will ruin all my scape and all the effort I have done. It took me long time to reach the level that I have now in aquascaping with the methods I use and don't want to "start from zero again".
I have a second tank at the office that is running since a year with one wood moss and some few rotalas. This tank is completely left on his own. No water change, just topping from evaporation. No filter cleaning etc. first I wanted to put the fish in this tank, but there is a small problem. The tank is quite shallow 50x40x25 cm.
do you think it will be okay for the discus 8 cm diameter, or I should keep it in my big tank ? It would be better for me to put it in my small tank like that I can continue scaping on the big one.
Second problem is food, we don't have access to artemia or tibuflex or what's so ever. I can only do home made food. Do some one have some good and EASY recipe for discus food. Two different like that I can vary his nutrition.
I hope I will have answers to where put the fish. I hope that I can put him alone in the small tank.
Thank you
