    Default My home bred Discus

    I sure do think that they're beautiful. It waiting for them to get down to breeding is killing me.

    Oh man Liz, gorgeous fish. I can see why you are wanting them to get on with it. How old are they now?

    I'm not good at how long. I quite sure that they're over a year. One is from a previous spawn and is a proven male.

    Mom, who jumped out of the tank and killed herself was a high bodied Blue Scorpion. Dad was a domestic Red Spotted Green. What I want to work toward is spotted blue snakeskins. As you can see, I'm off to a good start with my first generation.

    Yes you are Liz, they're amazing quality for color, shape and finnage! You have a great selection of breeding stock to work with. Can't wait to see their progeny!

    Thanks, sw'. I like everyone of them but I think my favorite is the one in the 3rd pic, although they all have their good and bad points. I think I'll take the pic of the third one to my minimal photo software and see if I can't adjust the color. It looks kind of dark and drab as it is.

    Couldn't fix it but the fish looks good enough as it is in the pic.
