    I've always liked those. They look amazing. They would make a very cool in a species tank.

    Thanks I have always loved the white bodies with the red ring I’m hoping my best to grow these out and maybe even get a pair of them

    Geoff,
    Now I want a silver pigeon! We like are discus fat and round, like these beauties, but the colorings on these really are heavenly. I like your taste in fish and get to watch them grow with you. This is turning into quite an exciting contest.

    Daniel,
    To answer your question from the other post, I started feeding them a set amount but I’ve realized that they eat different amounts each day. Normally they’ll finish off the equivalent of two of my fingers in 15 min. So what I do now is just dump in abut that much and wait to see if I should add more or if they’ve lost interest. That’s usually 20 min. If I leave any food overnight it’s always gone by morning.
    As far as moving them to a bigger tank? I have no idea yet. I have the 55 gal with my 4year old Stendkers just to the left of this one and I’ll add them to that when I ready. I separated them in the beginning because I though the juvies would not get enough food with the adults eating it, but now I think the adults would starve because they’re not fast enough.

    Hi Geoff, how does the heating work in this setup.. is it part of the filtration system outside the tank?

    Yes, I have two tanks and a sump all connected, the heaters in the main tank and the water turns over quick enough that it only loses a degree or two. I tried putting it in the sump but it’s a 300 watt and didn’t fit

    Wow so so pretty. Will you show us your sump. I'm thinking of plumbing in a sump but I'm not sure. I only have room for a 20 gallon sump. I saw a glimpse of your setup on the other thread. How do you like it with discus? Pros or cons to running a sump with discus? I have had tanks with a sump before but I was just wanting to discuss what you thought of it.
