Very nice Tim, looking forward to watching the tank over time. What size is the tank and what kind of filtration?

The backgrounds great, where did you get that?

Are those classic leopards? What strain are the others? Some sort of red cover? Who did you purchase from?

[timvriens]

red cover x curipera
red spotted green x tefee
and galaxy turquoise

:)

[DiscusBR]

Very nice! Those wild discus crosses are gorgeous.

[rickztahone]

That last red may possibly by the best red I have ever seen. My personal favorite. Subscribed!

[quattrok04]

Wow Tim!!! The curipera X red cover are stunning!!!! Very nice setup you have there... Thanks for sharing!

[timvriens]

thank you :D i really love my red cover, i can't wait to see how they look when they are full grown

[alcastro]

You must have low PH

[timvriens]

Why do you think my ph is low ? it's 7 ;)

[alcastro]

Duscus have a more vibrant color at low ph from my experience specialy the brown base ones will turn more brown than red and on top of that you must have some good clean water, great looking Discus and tank.

[timvriens]

the bright red is especially the led, ooh how i love my led :D

and thanks for the compliment ;)

[alcastro]

Tell us more of lighting I sm sure lots of people want to know

[timvriens]

I use kitelight rgb led with the wifi easytime controller
It's super easy and the light is fantastic

[Hart24601]

Wow, what a great looking tank and fish. I really like that background.

[timvriens]

Gooood grief, Tim, where did you get your fish from!?!?!?! I'm a huuuuge fan of brown-based reds and RTs so I'm loving your tank

[Noranni]

Gooood grief, Tim, where did you get your fish from!?!?!?! I'm a huuuuge fan of brown-based reds and RTs so I'm loving your tank I would really like to know this as well. Just curious, what do you feed your water babies?

[timvriens]

I'm from Belgium , so i get my fish from local breeders ;)
www.colordiscus.be ;)
I feed them brineshrimp, mussel (don't know if it's speld correctly), black musquito larves, turkeyheart mix and beafheart mix

[Mgus]

Your local breeder has some great quality discus. Very nice!

[timvriens]

[Davidzil]

Wow, amazing color

[MattArmstrong]

Very beautiful. Your tank size is similar to what I am considering. I showed your pictures to my wife so she knows what I'm going for! :-)

Did you remove the driftwood from your tank?

[timvriens]

yes i removed my wood, more room for the fish
+ there was getting dirt under the wood, so now i can clean my tank much better ;)

Those galaxy turquoise are blinding my eyes ;)

[Jason.M]

Wow, stunning. Very nice.

[Las Vegas]

I think I've seen similar looking Discus. Discus website from australia. Very expensive too!

[seankelly]

They are beautiful,great job

[seankelly]

Forgive me I said nice discus,but they are absolutely stunning!!!

[Phillydubs]

Please stop posting pictures of your fish... I can't handle the envy!!! Hahaha man these might be some of my faves of all time. Just breathtaking !!!

[timvriens]

haha, thx for the compliments, yesterday the breeder of the red fish came to visit.
And bought one of the big one's to breed with (y)

[Phillydubs]

What did you charge him... a kidney?? Lol!! That is what it would take for me to give up one of those... you are a better man than I... lol

[timvriens]

the breeder gave me €200, so thats a nice price for me :p

he is working on an "new" strain, my fish are the first generation, so he can breed with that fish back with te parents ;)

[Phillydubs]

Hope he promised you some offspring as well! Good deal though, if you are happy thats all that matters! Never hurts to have a nice relationship with a breeder, especially one who produces the stunners yours seems to...

[timvriens]

yes it's a very good breeder, he has a batch of royal blue's now :D

[Phillydubs]

Planning on getting some?

[timvriens]

no not yet, i'm starting on building a new house, so that come's first :)
