Unpacking and acclimatizing your new discus fish
I often get a knock on the door and am welcomed by a currier holding a polystyrene box covered in ?Fragile' and ?this way up' stuck all over it. My face will instantly light up and my hands rub together.
I'm sure you have or will be wanting to order discus fish from the internet or over the phone. If so, there are a couple of important factor you must first take into consideration. The main one is that you need to be sure you are getting quality fish, this may require looking at pictures of those fish and talking to the breeder or importer.
What I want to tell you about today is how to unpack and acclimatize your new fish.
Unpacking?
You need to unpack one box at a time, don't go and open every box if you have 4 or 5. I know you want to look at your discus fish but please take your time.
Take the lid off the first box and take one bag at a time out. Then open the bag, roll down the bag and float it in the water. Do this for the first box and then move onto the next stage.
Acclimatizing?
Now the bags of discus are floating in the water, you need to use a little jug or something similar to gently pour tank water into the bag. You need to do this every five minutes for the next 30 minutes. This helps the fish get used to the difference in ph and water hardness.
Then one bag at a time, tip the bag on its side and let the discus fish swim out in its own time.
Once you've done this for the first box then move on to the next.
You can also add some ?stress coat' or ?melafix' type product into your tank. I sometimes do this and have had positive results with discus settling a little quicker.
Leave dim lights on and don't feed for 24 hours.
Your discus should then be settled in fine within a week

Chocolate: You've Come a Long Way, Baby
The history of chocolate is a rich and interesting one. Most of the world didn't know chocolate existed until Columbus went to the Americas and took the cacao bean with him back to Spain. However, it wasn't until the Conquistadors went to Mexico that the Spaniards really discovered the wonders of cacao.The Aztecs and Mayans worshipped the cacao bean and believed it was a food of the Gods. The Aztecs used it as both nourishment and currency. They believed the fruit of the cacao tree imparted wisdom and they made a special drink with it called xocolatl, of which the Aztec emperor Montezuma is said to have consumed large amounts every day.
When the Spaniards conquered the Aztecs, they were fascinated by cacao but thought the xocolatl drink was too bitter, so they added cane sugar to it and drank it hot, thus creating the first hot cocoa.The Spanish kept their new discovery a secret from the rest of Europe for about 100 years.
With the decline of Spain as a power, the...

Good Things To Know About Sleeping Bags
One of the best things to remember from the trips in the country is the experience of spending the night under the stars. One of your most important companions in these nights is the sleeping bag, the friend that never leaves your side, whereever you go.
Sleeping bags are available in many different types, depending on where the person intends to use it and of course depending on the season he or she will need it. So, when going out for buying a sleeping bag, take a careful look at the temperature ratings. But one must also keep in mind whether you are a person who usually likes to sleep in a warm or cold bed. A good indicator of the feeling you will have in the sleeping bag is its loft, but you will also have to consider its shape.
It's very important for a sleeping bag to be big enough to sleep in , but also for it to be small enough when packed, so that it would not be hard to carry.
