![]() My suggestion is this: If you start with young fish, start with a bare bottemed tank so you can keep up with your water changes and keep top quality water (BB = see the poo = vacum it up = easy) so they can grow big and healthy. I do weekly water changes.Ĭontrary to popular belief, discus do not require planted tanks, however most of us would agree they look better in them. I was scared to death when i bought my first discus, however with a little TLC mine have turned out pretty good, and i've had a good experience. With a little TLC you will find them to be "easy" to keep, i know i have. No they arn't as fragile as people make them out to be but you do need to stay tight on the matenience. Water quality, Water quality, Water quality, Water Changes, Water Changes, Water Changes. What other fish are you looking to put with discus? 10gal per fish should be considered, so in a 45gal i would put 5 fish. They like to be in groups, unless of course they are a mated pair. A fine, healthy specimen can reach anywhere from 6-8".Īs for stocking, a 45gal would be fine.but i'd advise against a single discus. I've seen mine bump and nudge each other but thats as aggressive as i've seen. But yes, they can be kept with quite a few community fish. Well, i better say that better.i'd build the community around the discus instead of adding a discus to a community.personally. ![]() You keep wanting more and more.Īnyway, to answer your questions, I personally don't like them as "community" fish. I have 3 currently and crave more, its a craving if you keep them right and you get healthy fish. Glad to see your interest in discus, as they are one of my favorites. Its a good place to start and keep around. You should take a look at our Discus Profile in our profile section. (Firstly i apologize if this turns into a long post, it only resembles how much i love Discus)

Moving to self-checkout is a big change for your store, and both employees and customers need to get on board. Employees and customers need training.You need people to easily find it and check out! By the entrance/exit or near the assisted cashier stations is best practice. The self-checkout should be front and center.You can’t eliminate lines or achieve the desired ROI without both cash and cashless at the self-checkout. Here are a few lessons that we or our customers have learned about implementation: Q: WHAT ARE SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN ROLLING OUT SELF-CHECKOUT? Obviously every store is unique, so using a few machines in a trial or pilot will make the mass implementation more likely to be seamless. We encourage retailers to try self-checkout technology at a limited number of locations to understand the parameters for a successful deployment, and then roll out en masse. Most retailers already understand the potential positive impact self-checkout can have on their operations, and our customers have found the quicker they can implement at least 1-2 self-checkout units per store, the faster they can achieve their desired results. Q: SHOULD RETAILERS START OFF BY PILOTING SELF-CHECKOUT IN JUST ONE STORE, OR DO WHOLESALE IMPLEMENTATIONS WORK BETTER? CPI can assist retailers by working with them to ensure a successful trial, followed by a successful rollout. In addition to self-checkout, our full portfolio includes everything from attended lane automation to coffee kiosks, cash processing, vending and fourth-wall revenue solutions. CPI develops integrated technologies that keep customers moving. We can streamline implementation and provide c-stores-and all retailers-with a complete range of support and services. We ensure that the system we sell to each operator suits their needs and is not a “one-size-fits-all” configuration. Because we also have other equipment in our portfolio-like back-office cash counters and cash and coin automation at the point of sale-we have many proven ideas on how to make the whole process seamless. ![]() Focusing on OEMs as well as retailers helps optimize retailers’ cash management practices.

I can imagine having the weave animation, followed by some text floating in like "Happy Spring", "Welcome Spring" or something similar, and maybe some butterflies or birds also float into position. That is the trick of animation, deceive the viewer. While it looks like one continuous animation, in fact it is four separate animations, each running on it's own, combined to look like one single flowing animation. It was slowly adjusted from there over a few hours time. The first design began as just a weave of one thin blue line going through some black lines. It began with me trying to figure out a method to make a weaving animation in Synfig Studio. It can still use much more polishing, it's not a final piece. Here is one I recently started designing in Synfig Studio: I'm glad we have a section here for other graphics applications and that it is separate from Gimp graphics. Emojis in project titlesĮmojis in the project titles (Nozbe’s projects, not P.A.R.A projects) make it easier for me to identify projects visually.

One habit that I also try to enforce is to go through the projects and the tasks within them regularly, and assign due dates to them so I can more likely complete them.

P-prefixed projects get completed, whereas the A-prefixed are likely to stay there for a long time. Projects I add “P: …” prefix and for Areas I add “A: …” prefix.
