I have one Alenquer, which I start to worry about and think about potential cross contamination issue.

Some time during a day it is dark an literally in next minute become light brown. I don’t see a pattern, but it changes colours quite often during the day. It’s maybe 50% dark and 50% light brown.

Eating as I would not give food for weeks. Fish might have a different perception, but I do 5 feeds per day, 90% daily water change + cleaning after feeding time.

Good Point Andy. One or the other, once you learn that, are plenty of varieties.

BTW, I have another small shipment coming from Miranda at Chicago Discus. Scheduled to arrive by 10:30 AM tomorrow. Two 5" red Checkerboard PB. Nancy just loves those.
We like the Blue Diamond as well. Just waiting for her to get some 5" in stock.

those are beautiful discus you got there. Nice round shape, good defined pattern and intense color.

So an interesting development. I moved 2 Hans on Monday into the 125. Yesterday I added 2 of Kenny’s and 2 more of Hans. All the blues. So today much to my surprise the Kenny’s discus don’t look to good. Go figure? Me thinking the Hans discus were going to have problems! Pics of Kennys5795C07B-DBBA-4EAD-A4FD-1B8237D5FF3E.jpg70C736C7-C2DB-456E-9B17-7F165584B58B.jpg does seem like both have developed discus pimples overnight. They are swimming around and chasing the Hans but don’t look to good. The Hans look like nothings changed137121BE-9AE6-4E43-AFAC-1CDF603A9024.jpgDCA0CC3D-BAA1-4C3B-A598-614124C8C566.jpg. That’s a reflection on the top fin.

That many pimples overnight? Sounds like ICH to me.

I've never had issues with Kenny's discus, but you should always be careful when adding discus from different sources - I typically follow the "hero fish" method. You could easily have gotten some fish who are immune or more tolerant of a certain disease and introduction of new fish that don't have that tolerance become infected.

Lol you have to read from earlier. I did the hero fish . 1 Hans to 4 Kenny’s. All was fine. Don’t think it’s ick temp is 86 and those 2 are the only ones with it. There are also some rummie noses in the tank that are fine. Will change water again tonight and wait it out.

Ahh, I see that you added one of Hans' fish about 5 weeks ago. My apologies that I missed that post in your thread. The strange wrapping that occurs in some posts made me miss the text.

Water change is a good start, but I'd still keep a close eye on it. I don't think I've ever seen discus pimples show up in that quantity in a 24hour period. Best of luck!

Interesting how this happens .Most reading this thread have come to expect the Germans to be the effected ...
Good luck man .

Thanks Francis!! Did that from my phone on the train with pics my distraught wife sent me. Hard to get pics. The 2 Kenny’s are hiding. Only one has the spots. The other has a scrape on its side. Im thinking they didn’t like the move!

My experience is that it is always the German fish that succumb.
My Asian fish seem much stronger.
Not everyone's experience but that is mine.

SO interesting, Iminit that you have the opposite results.
I wonder why.
Water maybe???

Those German Wonders are amazing looking fish!

[Iminit]

Well all worked out well so far . Even the 2 stressed Kenny’s have come to life. Everybody’s in the 125.
