Way to go rdiscus

[a volar]

NICE......... how many of your fry have make it this far?

[rdiscus]

Over 5 weeks, so far so good, still have over 60 fry

[rdiscus]

6 week old ... you can see some of them will have virgin red look (since dad is virgin red), and some will have gold look (since mom is Albino Millenium Gold), they have peppering ... I think Albino Millenium Gold is PB

[Skip]

is the albino a pigeon blood based fish?

[a volar]

6 weeks now, good, how big they are?

[rdiscus]

is the albino a pigeon blood based fish?


Mom is Albino Millenium Gold, cross with virgin red... got some peppering fry ... so I guess Albino Millenium Gold is pigeon based



6 weeks now, good, how big they are?


They're over quarter size

[Skip]

like the cross.... let me know what you do with extra :)

[rdiscus]

I sell them :) ... will you be here in September for TCA Auction?

I think the F2 will look good, specially the albino: albino millenium gold or albino virgin red

[nwehrman]

Skip better be at the Sept event! Request off now!

Love your photos! Want to share any pointers on your photo process?
Do you remove/transfer the fry from the growout tank for photos?
Also, can you post a photo with size reference, I was trying to see how large they were compared to others in the contest. thx :)

[rdiscus]

Thanks ... glad you love some of my photos

I use Olympus E510. Fish love much better in black background. I used to keep lot africian cichlids with black bg and enjoyed to take pictures of them
I know some discus show more peppering in black bg, but black bg still my first choice for pictures

I don't transfer the fry for picture since when you move, they don't show the best color. They need time to get back their color in new tank.
I have over 60 fry from this batch, so I have about 20 on black bg for picture, the rest are in grey bg (4-6week pictures)

I may try measure them next time

[Silver]

Ryan you know I had to come and check out your fish lol they are looking pretty good, like those nice pictures too keep us up to the date with those spectacular photos.

[rdiscus]

Thanks ... I love black background too, but the PB will show more peppering ...

We had a fish photo tank at a shop I worked in long ago. Something like you see biologist use in the field. I should build another one.

Can you tell by before and after pictures ?

Can you tell by before and after pictures ?

No - but I am just starting to learn about discus diseases. That is why I asked. Always trying to learn more!

[hillbillyamber]

They are remarkable. There have been a lot of changes in discus over the last 10-12 years!

[Eddie]

Nice recovery, they look much better.

[joshvito]

Looking great. You're photography skills are top notch. Would love to see some size reference too. Keep up the great work.

Wonderful progress.

[discusjoe27]

any for sale?

[PhoenixLR]

Now they are young adults and you should start seeing pairing behavior. These pairing up will yield great results on the albino side. Albino virgin reds and more albino millenium golds is a treasure chest. Great job!!

How you guys keep millennium so yellow mine turn half red its looking like red melon now


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[rdiscus]

Think regular yellow will turn to orange or red depend on food you feed, but albino yellow will stay yellow, i'm not saying they don't turn red if you feed them red color food, but they don't turn red much comparing to regular yellow ...

My fry are intermediate (albino Millenium Gold x Virgin Red), so they don't turn to red

[CrazyAngels]

Very nice Ryan, I'm really liking these guys. How big would you say they've grown to..

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sandy, Astaxanthin is a red colorant and makes reds stronger, you would need to remove it from your mix and or make a separate mix you can give only to the yellows. There is something you can add for yellows, but I forget the name of it.

[sandy]

But all my fishes are in same tank how can I feed different mix to them

Just gone through your pics. They are nice. Especially you raised them when they are still babies. When I'm settle I would love to have a pair for myself and going to bug you for your secret how to get them that big and nice LoL.

[rdiscus]

Thank Josh

You may get a pair from what you have right now ... and all the secret is in here on this website :)

[JOSNNGUYEN]

I hope I do. Never in my life I always thought that keeping fish is no big deal and should be easy until now. I learned a lot in here and still learning. But Lucky for me that I have been meet a lot of great people in here. I'm glad that I am chose this hobby. Thanks Ryan. So what is your next step? Are you looking to have another pair?

[rdiscus]

I have many pairs, but never enough, so many strains out there that I like ... Wish I have fish house just for Discus :)

[JOSNNGUYEN]

We're you born here? Are you were born in Vietnam?

[rdiscus]

Wish I were born here :)

[JOSNNGUYEN]

I was not born here either. But it's ok. The only thing I complain about is the language. I can deal with the culture but language just so hard to learn sometimes but that just me though LOL
