How much you spent on discus

[Oscar77]

How much you spend on discus for the past 1 year? What is your annual budget you set aside to buy discus?

For me, the past 2 years, i spent $500 each year for discus. And my annual budget also $500. So far, I still quite dicipline in buying discus - buying within my budget.

Bro i envy your disicpline and control. For me every month the budget is busted.:stick_out_tongue:

i used to spend alot on fish stock also. But now stop liao. There will always be something new coming into the market. Much like handphone. Ultimately it whether you like the fish or not.

When we are new, we tend to less discipline. I think this have to do with lack of knowledge in choosing and buying discus. Lack of space, but unlimited "wants".

I used to buy some discus, which i think is nice at that moment. But some time down the road, after have better knowledge, i regreted of my choice. Another so call common mistake, is buying for the sake of buying without knowing what exactly what you want, ie for collection or breeding. And between collection and breeding, breeding most of the time which confused you to make a wrong decision, ie bought wrong fish for breeding, or bought at wrong price.

i bought my lot of discus last year, i think there were 8 fishes altogether, sold all except 4 which I have kept until now. All the four fishes only cost me $40 :big_smile:

Those outbreak happen to spotted discus? Unusual to experience so many time of the same outbreak, care to share what is your finding?

what is the black disease, first time i come across this

[edwardlong]

black disease also commonly known as slime. Its usually triggered by the addition of new fish in an old tank. Fish will turn black with its body slime coming out in pieces and sheets, and they will all clump together as if they cold .
