    Eugene, did you get these from a Canadian source, or did they come from away?

    They are from Canadian Aqua Farm like Daniel said. Rick who is the owner and hand pick all the baby discus for me. I bought them when they were one month old. Spending the next 2 years to feed them well with beef heart, FDBW.....and many many daily WC and they end up like the pictures I posted.

    Here is how my tanks look. I received the discus they're still timid will try to get some photos of them. I ended up getting 10 of them, 3 Blue diamonds, 3 Marlboro reds, 3 pigeon blood and they gave me one free.

    Marcus, you told us what the 9 were but not what the freed one was. Did that one arrive in a mystery bag?

    Don't tell me that he may have paid a quid for a squid? Now that would be stupid.

    Got them from the iFish Store. The free one was a Ghost Discus they all arrived alive and seem healthy. They still seem a bit timid, my daughter thinks its funny how they glide across the bottom.

    You are a poet and don't know it. But your feet show it. They're Longfellows.

    Just came home from work they are all hiding by one of the sponges Not sure whats going on I changed the water before work. They have only eaten once since they arrived on the 10th. I am not sure if they are still getting use to things or what.

    OMG these picky little jerks, I turned the light out and now they're eating. The light I am using was on the lowest setting.

    Welcome, and nice fish room. Leave the light off for a few days with just the room light on. Not as pretty but allow the discus to acclimate to the new surroundings. What are your tank parameters and feeding?

    I left the light off for today, I'm sure like you said it will take some time since its a new environment. My water is fine I have been doing 100% every day. I also added some salt to their water since some here have recommended it. For feeding I tried discus bio-gold and I also tried some California black worms but they didn't even touch the worms. They did eat the Bio-gold though, I have other food that I have bought them. I guess I will try something else tomorrow.
