    Default I kept one discus.....

    This is one of the babies from a batch of fry I raised last year. I sold all but the one. Parents are blue ss/scorpion and a virgin red - both from Kenny.

    Nice shape! Looks more towards the virgin red than a scorpion. May I ask why you only kept one?

    No room for more. I have a bunch of discus babies taking up all of the room in one of my large tanks right now. However, I will keep one from this batch as well since it has different parents than the one in the picture above.

    Me too. I am hoping that the colors will not be so washed out looking.

    Hi Holly. I did see this thread earlier but I don't think I put the pieces together that this was from your first batch that I helped you with. I wouldn't worry too much about the color at this point, some strains take a lot longer to color up than others and there may be a quite a bit more coming yet. The shape is very nice, no one would know it was your first try.
