    That is a very different looking Discus. You can see that the halo stops at the pronounced middle bar as well.
    Thanks a lot. I wish I could visit Mexico some day...!

    Thanks seankelly.

    Sadly the discus is the smallest in the tank. He is badly chased by the others and had been hitten. I suppose that some nerve must have been 'disturbed' cause the fish had not eaten for more than ten days, never left his hideout and when he did he seemed a bit dizy. I do not think that was a desease because there was nothing else that I could see.
    I raised the temp at 32C and kept the daily WC's and now the fish is a lot better. It eats and very rearly hides. It keeps his stress bars but that's because he is badly chased. I am thinking of moving him in a smaller 35gallon aquarium and add 4 bit smaller discus so I can feed them 6-8 times per day with beefheart (the only thing he eats) and make 100% WC's.

    I will post photos in the next days...

    I am in the awful position to inform you that I lost my Red Ica Heckel today. Really devastading as it was by far my favourite. I found it dead at the morning with no signs of illness from yesterday. He never ate much and had ful colours as it was the smallest in the tank. The fisrt that I thought was ammonia and after I measured some ammonia I started big WCs.

    The thing is that I lost the fish.
