Individual Leopard Eruption SS's Pics
Had about 30 minutes free the other day to myself and chose to try to get individual pics of each of my discus. I'm sure I have duplicates because I have more than eight shots (HA!!!), but wasn't sure which was which on the reverse side. I'll separate amongst Leopards, Eruptions and of course the Cuipeua Cross. Also, I wanted to shoot with no flash to try to show their natural colors. The dim light wasn't helping at all. I did the usual things to try to get better light and better shots and I still feel I missed the mark. At about the 20 minute mark I was getting pretty tired of trying to get that perfect shot and just started taking documentary photos at that point, lol.

Eruption Leopard #3, I call this one stumpy. One of its ventral fins has always been short:

Eruption Leopard #4. This is the only shot I got of this one. This is my smallest discus at 6" on the nose. Measured it about 2 weeks ago.

Stumpy was my favorite for the longest time because it had the best shape of all. Others just got bigger than this one and then it went down the pecking order
