    Default Some " Rogue Discus" Snakeskin Pics

    Hi all,
    Been awhile since I posted fish pics... Thought I'd post some pics of Blue Snakeskin Juvies I picked up a few months ago (Dec) from Steve...Aka Roque Discus.

    This was the sales thread...
    http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...vailable/page2

    and in it I posted a short Video.

    Heres some updates... Fish are doing great, excellent health and excellent shape so far, They will make a great addition to my breeding program. Steve gave them a good head start with his excellent husbandry and care.

    Stunning fish! If I ever hobby-breed, it will be blue snakeskins... I love the variety of the offspring, all such beautiful fish.

    These are some lucky fish to be cared for by two of the best!!

    Thanks for the update Al. They look great! The few I've kept are doing well, too.

    They have a very nice unique look to them! I would also like to hear the care. How big when you got them until now?

    I think they were 2+" when I shipped them. The spawn was in September if I recall correctly. I think Al's great photo skills might make them look bigger than they are, he can tell us, but mine are about 4-4.5" now. I wouldn't be surprised if his are bigger though. I've had 12 in a 75 gallon, maybe a bit crowded, and he did get the best of the batch. I'm working with a different pair at the moment and giving the parents of these a break, but plan to let them try again in about a month.

    Steve, mine are about the same as yours... and ironically same number per tank size! great minds think alike.


    I got these around DEC 12... so have had them about 5 months. They were maybe 2" total length...


    There are 12 of them in a 75 gal tank. The tank has 2 aquaclear 110 filters...with sponges inside . ,1 - 300 watt heater. Raised in my well water. 400 ppm TDS/pH 7.6.. I will be splitting out 4 to a new tankat this point as I like to have about 7-8 adults in a 75 gal.

    Thanks for comments everyone! I'll post more updates soon.
