I did find this post of Yours:



"I call it the discuss method. By a book on keeping discuss and make some modifications: tight fitting lid, warmer water, more hiding places, minimal lights and minimal water movement. Then place some discuss in the water, if they thrive well at 85 degrees (thats the temp I keep my acros at) then you should be ready for acros, but you must pre-condition the tank and have basic fish skills first. Thats the short version, the long version is up to page 46 in what I hope will someday be the first care guide to this species... Maybe I will have Hubb's as my publicist LOL. Laughing"



Its Good to see that after our last round you raised Your temps. Your "Discuss Method" is pretty much on track. You are adding one thing You don't need and missing another that You do need. The answers are on My websites. Have You yet sorted out why the Discus method works? That's what I have been doing: Sorting out--not just What, but more importantly WHY?



Good Luck on Your Book. I'll be busy giving the info away. I would like to see the average 15yr old herper be able to keep acros within the next 10-20 yrs at the most. Hopefully, much less.
