General Discussion / A laidback Monday
Last post by BallAquatics - March 25, 2024, 07:49:42 PMIt was a fantastic day here for March in Ohio. Mid 60's with a warm breeze. Did a bit of yard work, burnt up some more brush and had a leisurely 80 mile bike ride...
The NC700X is the least exciting bike in my garage, but I love this bike. It's so well balanced, most of the weight down low. Gets 80 MPG, and is quiet and smooth. With the Michelin Road 5 tires it will carve up a twisty back road like nobody's business.
I guess when the time comes to thin out the heard, it's going to be hard to part with this one...

In your opinions, which would adapt better to my hard alkaline tap water, young ones or adults? I have read that fancy goldfish need neutral water, 7.0 or so. Mine is over 9. Hardness so high I never measure it. I would love a planted tank of neons or cardinals, but they would die here. But I did prove that Discus can grow and live in this water!

They like neutral PH but I've had GF in high PH when I lived in Chicago and they did fine. I would go for the younger fish. They are cheaper and will probably acclimate easier.

Last post by Ron Sower - March 24, 2024, 10:59:31 PMHi guys! We just got back from a zodiac boat trip. Saw a small bunch of whale; a Mom and 2 calves. Two is very unusual
Also saw a pod of about 40 spinner dolphins, This was the fastest and roughest excursion for whales we've ever been on. We both feel drained. Tomorrow will be a quiet day by the pool if weather is good.
Hope you're all doing well.

But not sure how they would do in this tap water. Need to check it out before I invest in them. Big ones cost a bit.agree with Willie.
Barb, those fancy goldfish grow fast. Why don't you get some small ones and grow them out?

I still keep thinking about turning one of the 65s into a fancy goldfish tank, the ones with long flowing fins and calico. But not sure how they would do in this tap water. Need to check it out before I invest in them. Big ones cost a bit. My 6 discus are all healthy, thanks Liz, but they will be my last. I recently decided to not make and mail anymore cones. The cost of shipping is now more than the cones! Sad.Barb, look into Pirate Ship for better shipping rates.
You all have a good day and I will see you here later today. It is cold, windy and sunny here.

Last post by LizStreithorst - March 24, 2024, 05:29:16 PMEverything I've read says that 9 is too high. You'll have to try it yourself. As you know, they used to say that about Discus.

Bought 2 photos to go on our "Hawaii Walls" in the game room. I'll try to remember to post pics if I can figure how, or send them to you, Dennis, if you're willing to post for me.

Not a problem Ron. You have my email address.
