Indeed. One was taken with flash the other without. But, during breeding the blue diamonds will usually turn almost black on their sides. Or a really deep blue.

My tank stays at a toasty 86 I love doing water changes on this tank.

Soon to come....1-2 new discus tanks (!!) and more discus!

I love the malboro! The blue is nice too, but the reds and oranges always pop for me.

I'm a sucker for the classic solid strains. The reds are nice to me, but only if they are the more toned down rusty colored type. I love solid fish. Some spots might be in my future, but solids are where my heart lies right now. As you can tell, i love the blue. I might work with some red in another tank.

Well he got it! I was yelling at him through the tank. It was my first discus spawn so i'm upset, but realistically all cichlids go through the parental learning phase so its not to big of a deal.

Discus... what a beautiful fish! I would only venture into them when I have a REDOX meter.

Don't mind posting more pics, we have enjoyed every one of them!

They look great. Just to tell you, they still look young so the male might even be shooting blanks the first few times he doesn't eat them. Don't be concerned if it takes even a half year for them to get it right.
