My 10 Discus arrived

[DanDiscus]

I have 2 of these LEDs to enhance the colors (2×24 ")

Finnex Monster Ray Aquarium Color Enhancing LED Strip, 24-Inch

And have also a 48" standar marine blue/white LEDs fixture

BTW.... I have some special LEDs in the tank that enhance the fish colors. Plus I also have blue/white LEDs.

I have these 'Satellite Current' LEDs which I don't know how to fully use yet. Maybe I can adjust mine.

Thanks I might look into something like this, I don't like the way mine sit on the aquarium top.

You are sooo funny about the piranhas homology. But in a certain way you are not too far. When I put my hands to attach the FDBW cube to the glass, all the discus start to bite my hand. And they bite hard. My hand is like a big steak for them.....just not tender at all to be eaten..... LOL.

The satellite is a better light than the monster ray. You just need to play with it.

I have a finnex 24/7 and a finnex stingray

The monster ray is just a combo of red blue green led. I was using a finnex stingray to make the fish "pop" along with my finnex 24/7. Lately I have just been running a custom color on my 24/7 with stingray off which gives the tank a more natural look.

You just need to play with settings on yours and adjust it to your liking. Everyones fish/tank combo is different. That's why adjustable leds are great.

I mush prefer the less light now than the really bright full spectrum. To each their own if course

Hi Ryan,

I only glanced at the instruction booklet when I was setting up but there appear to be adjustable settings on the remotes. I'll play with these and see what it can do.

Hi all,

Ok, finally got some better pics, my daughter took them minutes ago. They're extremely friendly now, and always inquisitive and crowding around my hands when I'm cleaning the tank. My first batch of Discus were nothing like this. These are true pets that you can grow close to.

Very pretty!!

Thanks, I really like them. Being from a good breeder I assume they'll grow out nicely given the proper care. I think I've learned enough now to be able to give them that. So far so good.

Great group. I really like the scorpion and the white butterfly

The patterned scorpion and white butterfly are the two most dominant ones, and seem to eat the most. Funny that in a way they also look the nicest imo.

They are great looking fish. If your fish are anything like mine though you will see changes in that pecking order over time.

Nice looking fish loon forward to seeing them mature.

If you haven't started a tank journal I would do one. I wish I had from the beginning. I had to make one and backtrack for a few months.

Fish are much like puppies you might not notice the growth as much as people that don't see them everyday. I try to take a good pic of each fish once or twice per month to document growth and change.

Ryan,

That's a good idea, I'll have to contract my daughter for monthly pictures

The change is astonishing when you can go back and reference photos.
