New Leopards from Chicago Discus

[bossanova]

I got these amazing guys in last week. This is my first experience with Asian Discus, and with Chicago discus, and they knocked it out of the park!

These fish were eating from my hand day 1, and spawning on day 6. Looks like I got lucky and May end up with 3 pairs out of 8 fish. I swear I’m not getting anything by posting this, but Miranda is incredible to work with.

Here’s day 6 video: https://youtu.be/hWu6F67HOa4

Good looking crew!

Beautiful...

Very pretty. I see 2 that carry the ring gene.

[Chicago Discus]

Actually there are 3 Ring Leopards and 5 Classic Leopards. I ran out of Classic Leopards but have lots more Ring Leopards in stock. They both make a beautiful mix of spotted discus on your tank.

Almost bought some of these when I purchased my first discus a few months ago. Very beautiful! I love the rainbow coloring.

Thank you, these guys are super active and eating everything. I broke down and ordered 3 more from this batch, so I’ll have 11 total in a 150 with a 30g sump.

Very nice. I noticed you have don’t have a cover. How many people do this? My discus, at least as juvies jumped a few times. Luckily landed on my hood top.

I’ve kept many discus in this rimless tank over the years with no problems. An occasional tetra will jump here and there, and a glass cat did end up on the carpet once. As a display tank I love the look, but I wouldn’t have multiples because it takes much more energy to keep the temp up, I like it around 84

[mleibowi]

Keeping the temp up and evaporation would be my concern with a rimless. I’m definitely a KISS kind of guy

[bossanova]

An ATO system takes care of evaporation. KISS fan here also but the look is for me is everything. These fish are majestic, so I like to show them in the best possible light. I’m not a breeder after all.

Trying to embed video here, hopefully this works…

Beautiful!
I'm be absolutely terrified they'd end up on the ground, personally. But that's a very nice setup!

[LizStreithorst]

It's stunning.

[bossanova]

No chance! Well, hasn’t happened in the several years I’ve had this setup, anyway, lol. I’ve also never ever heard of a discus actually jumping out of a rimless aquarium, have you?

Come on, embrace your inner Euro lol
