In the year 1849, gold fever had swept across the United States, and many people had set their sights on striking it rich in the mines of California. One of those people was a miner named John, who had left his family and traveled west in search of fortune.

For months, John had toiled away in the mines, digging and sifting through the dirt in the hopes of finding even a small fleck of gold. But day after day, he came up empty-handed.

One afternoon, as John was about to give up hope, he noticed something glinting in the dirt. He dug around it carefully, and as he brushed away the dirt and debris, he realized that he had found a massive gold nugget.

John couldn’t believe his luck. The nugget was the size of his fist, and he knew that it was worth a fortune. He carefully wrapped it up and set off for town, eager to sell it and make his fortune.

But as he made his way down the mountain, he heard a group of bandits talking nearby. They had seen him with the nugget, and they were planning to rob him.

John knew he had to act fast. He scrambled up the mountain, with the bandits hot on his heels. He dodged trees and boulders, using all his miner’s skills to stay one step ahead of his pursuers.

Finally, John reached a narrow, rocky path that led up to a cliff. He knew he had to make a daring leap of faith to escape the bandits. With his heart pounding in his chest, he took a deep breath and jumped off the cliff.

For a few heart-stopping moments, John was airborne. But then he landed in the cold, rushing river below, the shock of the icy water jolting him awake.

He swam to shore and staggered out of the river, soaking wet and shivering. But he had made it. The bandits were nowhere to be seen, and John knew that he had escaped with his life and the priceless gold nugget.

From that day on, John’s luck changed. He sold the gold nugget for a small fortune and used the money to build a new life for himself and his family. And even though he faced many more challenges in the years to come, he never forgot the exhilaration and thrill of that daring escape and the discovery of the gold nugget that had changed his life forever.

    Hi Michael:



    As per our conversation, we received the package, but one of them came with no water and was dead. This was the turquoise discus. Attached pictures of dead fish with stick on eye.



    Also, as I mentioned the red one does not look good, but as you instructed I will give it until tomorrow morning. Attached pic.



    The albino millennium we ordered does not look like it, it looks more than the golden valentines discus!!! Attached pic.



    Please acknowledge receipt of this email, and let me know how to proceed...



    Thanks,


    Martha for Alfonso R

    Fish arrived alive due to my wife tracking down the ups truck when once again he did not show up when scheduled. which is why I left a note on my order and sent you a personal message indicating i wanted fish shipped to airport which was the delivery method I chose on my order. I also asked to make sure my Albino Millennium gold discus had red eyes which he does not. Overall the fish you chose for me are beautiful and hopefully stay healthy for a long time. Thank you. From Michael: Your Albino Millennium Gold is a true albino (with red vampire eyes). Shine a flashlight in your tank with the lights turned off and you will see exactly what I mean.

    I ordered ten fish and this was the best one I got. Just flawless shape and color, truly a magnificent fish. Though I ordered 2.0-2.5" size got one closer to 3.5" (which was a little bit of a problem for my smaller guys). Fortunately she is very calm and has actually helped the shy ones come out of their hiding spots. Makes you just love Discus fish.

    They are all doing well :) I added some fake plants to the tank and they seem more relaxed, too.

Natural Habitat for Discus

Discus are found in floodplain lakes and flooded forests of the lowland Amazon River basin and some of its tributaries, including the Rio Negro.  These areas experience extreme changes in water level due to seasonal flooding.  Discus tend to congregate near fallen trees, known as “galhadas”, along the shore.  They prefer quiet water, and are rarely found in areas where there is strong current or wave action.

Discus Water Requirements

Discus prefer warm, soft, acidic water.  pH should be between 6.0 and 7.0, with hardness between 1° and 4° dKH (18 to 70 ppm).  Temperature should be kept between 82° and 89° F. Water conditions for both wild and hybrid discus are the same. While captive bred discus can be kept in dechlorinated tap water  reverse osmosis or deionized water supplemented will ensure the the best conditions. Discus require pristine water quality, and depending on the filtration system being used, a weekly or bi-weekly water change of 10% to 25% is highly recommended. Don’t forget to treat tap water with conditioner before refilling your aquarium!  

Housing Requirements for Discus

Discus grow to be quite large, and full sized discus will require an aquarium of 50 gallons or larger when they reach adult size.  Tall aquariums are best, to accommodate their body shape.  Current should be gentle, and décor if used at all should include large broadleaf plants and driftwood that is arranged vertically to simulate downed branches and trees.  A few floating plants can also be added to provide shaded areas and cover. Substrate should be fine to medium grade and smooth surfaced, as discus like to forage along the bottom for food.

Discus Behavior/Compatibility

Discus are generally calm, peaceful fish, but as cichlids they can be aggressive toward one another, especially when attempting to pair off and spawn.  Shy or submissive fish should be removed if they are unable to compete. Most serious hobbyists do not mix their discus with too many other species. However, suitable aquarium mates include cardinal tetras, neons, emperor and rummy nose tetras, as well as clown loaches and dwarf cichlids such as rams and Apistogramma species. All of these fish tolerate the high temperatures and low pH/hardness required by discus.  

What do Discus Eat?

In nature discus eat a considerable amount of plant material and detritus, but also forage along the bottom looking for worms and small crustaceans.  They are omnivores and will thrive on freeze dried black worms, beefheart, frozen blood worms, and a variety of pellet and flake food. Frozen and live foods may be fed as treats or to help induce spawning.  For best results, rotate their diet daily and feed only what they can consume in 2 to 3 minutes, once or twice a day.

Discus Breeding Level – Difficult

Captive bred discus will pair up and spawn relatively easily, but young, inexperienced parents may eat their eggs the first few times, particularly if other fish are present.  After hatching the young feed on heavy body mucus secreted by the parents for a few days until they begin to free-swim.  Parents will transfer the young back and forth several times a day.

Q: How are your stated fish measurements conducted?
