Thinking about giving my discus to a good home

Hi guys.

This is a really hard post for me to post on here. Have been keeping discus for a little more then a year now. So far, it has been an extremely rewarding and for filling experience.

These fish have such amazing personalities and are truly the kings of the aquarium.

I have had a few challanges with them but, thanks to members of this forum I sorted that out.

I had got married a few months ago and these kings of the aquarium require a lot of my attention. It is just becoming very difficult to keep all my tanks in check.

So I am thinking about letting all 14 go to a good home. Have not made up my mind yet. Looking forward to hearing from you. Will post some picks as well. All you experts tell me if I decide to cell them, what would be a good asking price? Thanks.

 

Post some pics dash,might take some of them!
What size are they,and where did you source them from if I may ask?
Thanks

 

Could be a good idea. Never really gave it some thaught. Some times when you are a little overwhelmed you don't see reason.

 

I agree dash.run the 4foot bb and its easy to handle.ur fish are adults anyway so u should be just fine.i gt married 3 years ago and have a 6 year old and a 3 month old baby.I speak from experience.Your fish will be fine and as long your wife is fine with it it helps too.Hope this helps in making ur dicision.

Regards
Quintin

 

Thanks mate. You have always had good things to say.

 

Your fish are teaching you a valuable lesson, it is up to you to embrace it.
If it was easy to get something in your life do you value it as much as something thing you worked your butt off for?
Your tank is becoming a chore for you because you are over thinking it, do me a favour get yourself a chair and a coffee or a double if you prefer and just sit in front of your tank, I do this daily, late at night when its quite and I just look at the fish, the way they move their mannerisms and characteristics, remind yourself of your journey with them, you might just find your mind changing........

 

@HEIHACHI 100% true. @dash, I got three kids (11, 8 and 3) and they actually love cleaning the tank and even are helping me now with the breeding of my angels.
My wife doesn't mind, cos then she gets a break from them.
Just down size of now. I'm sure you will find an equilibrium somewhere there.

@dash , @HEIHACHI is right ,, you are normally a very rational thinker when it comes to my fish problems, don't rush into anything , think things through, just breathe, relax , give yourself some alone time with them , you will figure something out

 

Chin up. Also two little kids this side, they very interested in my aquarium stuff. Keep them involved, it will benefit them for a long time to come.

As to the time problem, perhaps think of ways to optimize your water change and feeding regimes. Any chance for semi-automation on the water changes?

 

You guys are such amazing people.
