YELLOW MARLBORO DISCUS medium

YELLOW MARLBORO DISCUSSymphysodon aequifasciatus Description Peaceful fish that can be kept best in an aquarium that is set up especially for this kind of fish. The height of the aquarium should be at least 50 centimeters (20"). You should set up the aquarium with roots, driftwood, and heavy vegetation to provide hiding places. Open swimming areas should be created. They are very sensitive for nitrates. Diet: You should feed them live food, but before feeding you better freeze the food so parasites will be killed. They barely accept dry food. Breeding Breeding is with a good matching couple fairly easy. Several hundreds of eggs are laid on a leaf of a plant. After a few days they hatch. They are carefully protected by the parents. The fry feed on a milky secretion from the parents skin. It is barely impossible to raise the young without the parents. After a week you can feed the youngsters with baby brine shrimp. Compatible with Cardinal tetras, corydoras, exotic plecos, neon tetras, ottos. The following are often listed as compatible, but not everyone agrees - angelfish, barbs, bettas, bolivian rams, clown loaches, danios, gouramis, New World cichlids, ram cichlids. Blue gouramis, tiger barbs and angelfish are often listed as not being compatible because gouramis may suck/kiss at discus and barbs may nip at them. Often incompatibility is based on preferred water temperature ranges and pH rather than temperament. online fish

Q.  How are the fish  shipped?


A.  They are bagged in plastic bags and clean water with a product to control ammonia levels.  They are then boxed in a Styrofoam insulated box and heat packs or cold packs are used if weather conditions warrant.  They are then shipped via FedEx Express to the home or business address requested.


Q.  How much does shipping cost?


A.  For orders over $50 the shipping is discounted to $36.95 for FedEx Express. For orders over $325 the shipping is free. For smaller orders under $50 the rate is $44.95. FedEx express is the preferred method of shipment and has 100% warranty. Bluegrass Aquatics guarantees live arrival on all packages shipped

 

Q.  When will I receive my fish after placing my order?

 

A.  Most orders are shipped 2-5 business days after they are ordered.  Some orders that include odd balls and or saltwater fish may requires a couple of extra days to acquire and prepare fish for shipment since they are wild caught imports from a local distributor.  Most of the cichlids listed on the site are in inventory and can be shipped within one to three business days.  If you have a preferred date of arrival select that on the delivery calender provided or include that information and the order number in an email to: eddie@bluegrassaquatics.com.  We will let you know if we have to delay or reschedule for weather or product availability.

 

Q.   Where are you located? 

 

A.  Bluegrass Aquatics headquarters are in Louisville Ky.   Most of the fish are shipped direct to the customers door from the Florida facility in Riverview near Tampa.  

 

Q.   What is the guarantee on live arrival?

 

A.   Bluegrass Aquatics guarantees live arrival on all packages shipped. We cannot guarantee live arrival of packages that are not received on time due to carrier delay, whether it is due to weather conditions or failure to pick up or receive fish within two hours of arrival. We will, however, do our best to resolve any problems or question you may have. It is our goal to help you keep your fish alive and healthy. "Live arrival" is defined by Bluegrass Aquatics as follows: upon opening the box and inspecting your new arrivals, the fish are all swimming and appear to be in good order. In other words, they are not floating upside down dead. If you receive fish that do not meet these standards, it is the customers responsibility to take digital pictures of the fish and email them to us within two (2) hours of receiving the fish. The digital pictures of your DOA fish should be taken while the fish is in the unopened bag or with the tails clip off if discovered after opening the bag. We also encourage you to call or email us once you receive your fish to confirm their safe arrival within 2 hours, particularly if any abnormal conditions or extreme stress of the fish are involved. In the case of a DOA of a guaranteed fish, a credit will be issued. We do not refund the cash value of the fish or the cost of shipping. In the event of total loss (80% or more) of a FedEx overnight shipment, a new order will be shipped at no cost to the customer or a credit for the total order including the shipping cost will be credit to the next order.

 

Q.   How do I acclimate the fish?


Simply float in bag in the tank to adjust the temperature, then introduce the fish only into tank without any of the bag water.Ôªø


The Drip Method is recommended only for saltwater fish and invertebrates


Q.   What size are the fish?

 

A.   The size is listed under thei size tab found on the product description page of each fish.  Most of the cichlids are sold as small fish 1.25 to 2.5 inches in size.  The small size allows us to offer a wide variety of species and a low cost and economical shipping rates..  when we have large size they will be listed in the drop down menu in the product description page or listed as Medium, Large, Adult etc..
