discus in durban

hey all,

today was a mix of productive and not so productive .

went in search of a proper substrate for setting up a planted tank and only found 1 5kg bag of some specialist brand at a pretty steep price.

where can i find seachem flourite in dbn and if needed family in jhb can fetch in jhb.???

please advise.

then i was astounded to see so many discus for sale at 1 particular store(pm if u wanna know.....not sure if its ok to post details here)

there was good variety and sizes and the prices were pretty reasonable....the one let down was the staff lack of knowledge as to the strains on sale.

their display tank has some really beautiful discus in a beautiful tank setup.....pretty amazing stuff .


i only hope that i can get my stuff together and get going soon.

awaiting quotes on a custom 4 ft tank and hope to get planting substrate soon so that im ready to go once i have all the pieces of my puzzle to be.

 

Hi Catfreak, just be very careful of quality buying these guys. Also thought of giving discuss a try a few times and then after some more research decided not to because of all the factors you need to take into account.

Actually I just did not want to take my display tank apart to accommodate them

Anyway, contact @Altum for some flourite, but be warned no matter where you get it, it is expensive(for me anyway)

Best of luck.

 

hey vis,

thanks for the info....will contact Altum.

i am not buying discus till i am fully comfy knowing what i am getting into.

i know that im in for a fair bit of work but its fine.

with hard work comes reward......i am fully prepped for the work required....im not so sure of id'ing illnesses etc yet. and thats my concern right now.

thanks again

 

I ordered seachem flourite BLACK from Altum. . . good stuff! Oh ..and his discus are top notch . .almost as good as the German bred specimens. . .

 

if you are going for discuss talk to altum. He will ensure you get them disease free too.

 

thanks again vis,

i sent altum a pm a little while ago......will wait for his reply.

my aim is not a heavily planted tank...just feeling a little inspired after all the aqauscaping pics i was looking up.

when inspiration comes.....act quickly lol
