I have 2, soon to be 3 Koi ponds where I live. What are the nutrients high in N P K? I used some pond slime to make a tea to see how it would work but dealing w/ tp shock so waiting for that to pass.

The fish are very fun imo. I love to watch them swim around and(iknow its childish) i like to mess with em a bit - they start chewing on my hand and it tickles

I love my freshwater aquariums but I really want to start a saltwater! Not enough space/money though as I know for a fact I would want to buy corals and a lot of them - my friend is the cheapest coral breeder/salesperson in california and I really like his stock. He has beautiful colorful corals.

Didn't want to start a new thread since this one is here already. : )
75 Gal Discus tank.
The fish actually came from Singapore via Florida.
I'm still figuring out the live plants so gimme a break.
The fish are super finicky about the water conditions so adding chem's to the water for
the plants could harm the fish & I'd really rather lose a 10.00 Amazon Sword than a 60.00 Fish.

how long 'till they're big enough to eat?
Considering a very desirable breeding pair can hit close to 10K US the fillets probably won't be seen at wally world anytime soon.

They are very stately & graceful - super calming to watch as they will literally follow you when you go past the aquarium.

I can totally see that. I bet it's a lot of work maintaining them.
Before covid I would often go hang out at Ripley's Aquarium and watch the fish.
Discus are absolutely high maintenance - a minimum of weekly 50% water changes & tank cleanings but being retired allows me to do this no prob.I can totally see that. I bet it's a lot of work maintaining them.

Cool looking tank there - I'd love to see it in person.

Are they salt water fish?
Ripley's is really cool. I love getting baked and watching the jellyfish. There are no bubbles or currents in the water so you forget it's there, like watching aliens float around. You can also pet stingrays if you want, I haven't built up the nerve to touch one yet.
