New discus

Very nice Tom, those raffs are lovely

[Iminit]

Thanks guys!! Yes very happy with them! But it seems my water turns pbs bright orange. I was hoping for red like my red cover (brown base) didn’t know raffs were from pbs. My Hans red ssDEB8E299-E03D-4317-81F3-5CF42FA06B31.jpg.

What are you feeding Tom? Any food with enhancers (astaxanthanin is a common red enhancer) typically turn yellow fish orange.

[Iminit]

Lol knew the yellow would turn orange but was thinking the raffs would be red. Yes I feed all red enhanced foods.

Are those the trouble makers?

[Iminit]

Yes they are! They were so.d as super red discus. But we’re tiny when bought. One has doubled in size the other has grown but not as much. I added a runt blue from my other tank. Still wondering what I’ve got. They don’t seem to be the same.43FD1056-5A21-43AE-8FEA-362937969AE3.jpg

Tom the one with the black bar through the eye looks like a ghost cross...I say cross because it has some blue pattern in the dorsal which is not usually found in ghost discus.

[Iminit]

Thanks Dan will look up ghost discus!!

Some nice discus. I wonder if those Raffleisa will color out the way mine did. Mine were that color when young and grow out to about 7 inches. They were Forrest discus, but not from Kenny.DSC00794.jpg DSC00795.jpg DSC00804.jpg

[Iminit]

Those are raffleisa? Mine are suppose to be red raffleisa. Are those a different color raffleisa?

[bluelagoon]

They were pink spots on them like yours when they were younger. The reddish pattern slowly faded away into a more solid pinkish orange color. I would think different breeders have different lines and are not all the same pattern.

[Iminit]

Think they had a growth spurt! 37CDE291-084D-429F-A177-16B285C0318A.jpg33400E2D-7C1F-45D0-A2FF-D51FB1A07B05.jpg. I moved 2 of the raffleisa into one of the 125.
