Blue Diamond. Nice yellow hue tail and a purple hue face.


Cobalts (My favorites) A very nice classic





Marlboro Red - Hans tried to pick me the cleanest 3"er in the tank. I'd say he did a good job!

Beautiful Discus! Discus are some of my favorite fish. They are so magnificent

Lucy

Gorgeous fish, thanks for posting something to drool over. lol

Martinismommy

I know this is probably a stupid question but.....Why do all the photos of this type of fish have them being held by a hand? Is it to show their size?

Dino

It is that to a degree.
Small differences in size can mean a lot of difference in price.

And, no, that is not a stupid question.

Martinismommy

Thank you Dino...I am just really liking these fish and would like to learn as much as possible...Beacuse I'm a betta and Salty person not many fish capture me.....These fish caught my eyes...

Little Cherry Barb

Wow! Pretty fish. How many do you have?

Dino

The main seller at the show was marking many of the fish by the 1/2 inch with 20-30$ differences in the price.

They are great fish, just a little bit needy in their requirements.

Martinismommy

Needy?? Well forget it then lol........You know that is why I have the fish I do because they are needy! Darnit......Now I really want one!

hmmmm.... i smell a Discus tanks coming on....and some magnificant photos to follow.

one of the LFS near our house, All about fish, has the MOST GEORGEOUS Planted discus tanks with some stunning discus like 6" tall. i drool over them every time we go there....but mr. rick says......No Babe, too hard to upkeep, too delicate!!

MissMTS

Hi, sorry I forgot to ask.....Did you just get the discus recently?

Slug

Thanks everyone. Yes i got them at the ACAs on Saturday/Sunday. 8 of them total.

Holding them by hand is to show size, and just to get pictures before they go in the tank haha, they were just done aclimating so i was in the process of putting them in. I have a feeling this tank might turn green eventually (With good plants not algae ) but for the time being to grow them up big, i'm sticking to BB.

Needy, eh. To a degree i guess, maybe i don't notice it because i keep SW too. Just some extra TLC then your average tetras i'd say. It seems their needyness disappears with age, younger discus are much tougher to take care of and grow up right then an adult discus that is already at its peak growth.

Wow! Those are some amazing Discus!!!!

Sabi

Wow they are gorgeous!!

Slug

Thanks, can't wait to see if any of them pair up!

Anyone who thinks discus don't school is missing out. Its pretty funny when 2 swim to the other side of the tank the others are quickly following like don't leave me behind! Its pretty funny.

Slug

Heres a couple more, man i love these fish!

MissMTS

They look great I know what you mean about them schooling. The funny thing with mine is that the angels school right along with them silly fish!

COBettaCouple

Wow! I wish I could have those beauties!
