Carey's documentation of aquarium keeping



Currently have 7 discus from Kenny's Discus, 3 large snails, 2 dwarf plecostomas, 1 remaining otocynclus, about 6 glo fish (genetically altered zebra danios).  Fish are eating OK, but are timid. 
3-3 ½ in Super Flamingo $52
3 1/2 -4” Red Golden Diamond-ung seng lip $65
3-3 ½” Blue Diamond (deep blue gene) $32
3 ½”-4” checkerboard $48
4 ½” Virgin Red Snakeskin $48
3.5-4” Alenquer Cross $45
4.75-5" Albino Red Spotted Green $215

Discus are eating bloodworms only at this point.  I need to learn how to get them to eat food that keeps their colors bright.
Did 40% water change today.  Added recommended amounts of Excel, Pot, Trace, Comprehensive, and double Iron.
KH 50. pH6.7.
Plants look pretty good.  Thinned dwarf grass.
