My Beef Heart Mix

1. Beef / Pork Heart (Cleaved of veins and fat completely)            250 Gms
2. Beef Liver / Pork Liver (Cleaned and boiled for 5 mins.)             50Gms
3. Pro Growth from Andrew Soh                                                  1 Tea Spoon
              (If feeding adults for Breeding add Pro More as well.)  1 Tea Spoon
4. Spinach (Boiled with Liver for 5 mins, and remove the stems) 3-4 leaves
5. B-complex tablet                                                                             1 tab
6. Vitamin C  tablet                                                                              1 tab


Add it all to the blender and blend well.
Take it all out and place in a zip lock, I prefer to make one big ball instead of flattening it out.
Then freezing it. This way I just use it over grater and grate how much ever is needed, I get smaller sized bites as well for the babies and adults get longer thicker ones, depending on the grade of the grater I use.


For Baby discus:
I feed the largest quantity first thing in the morning, and 30 mins later I siphon out the left overs. Then through the day I feed every 3 hours. And before lights out I do a major Water change something like 80-95%. This is with aged RO water, heated to about 1'C more than the temp in my baby discus tank.

So my schedule for the Baby discus is :
8:30 Large Feeding.
9:00 Small Water Change
11:30 Small feed
2:30  Small feed
5:30 Small Feed
8:30 Large Feed
9:30 Large Water Change

For large Discus:
I only feed twice a Day and Do water Change of about 25-35% every Morning, with aged RO water but this is not really heated to any temperature, I do this as I don't see adults getting too stressed with a smaller water change with cooler water. There is not much of a dip, but in winters one does need to take care as temperatures where I live can drop to single digits on some nights and my RO water storage is Outdoor.

180GL Oscar tank




This set a setup in IvySuites living room, located in Bhopal.
Or a better description is that is is my dad's tank. It is a 180Gl (4x3x2ft) tank.
The plants are just Giant Vals.
And a pair of oscars currently live in it.


There is one white boulder missing from the right corner of the tanks, this was because the oscars had laid eggs on them and dad is trying to artificially hatch them, I dont know anything about breeding oscars so I can't really say much on that.

Last month I rescaped, and this is the out come. I quite like the center gap it looks quite nice.
And all the fish so far so good. The brow pair is busy with their babies in the other tank thats why thry aint here.




The vallisneria is finally starting to grow back nicly, and ofcourse the anubias too. I am not too sure if I like the Aponogetons on the sides they are not growning nice, lets see what I do with them next.
