    Default Just one photo..

    ... unless you ask for more. I took this photo with my cell phone and it actually came out somewhat decent so I decided i'd share it with the board. I've not posted much on this forum as my first thread a few months back led to me putting on my flame suit and laying low for awhile. Now that the heat is off I decided to fullfil the cheeky request I had for pictures of my discus. I really enjoy looking at everyone elses photos here, that more than anything has taught me a great deal.


    A young Blue turk and Cobalt Blue..


    Cheers,
    Jim

    Not quite. She was closer to 2"TL when I got her. Now shes 5"TL. Shes grown about 3" in 5 months. I was doing 50-75% water changes daily, Now its everyother day about 35%. They were all in a barebottom tank until a week ago. I feed 4-6 times a day. Tetra Bits, Beefheart, Bloodworms and Brine Shrimp.

    Oh what a difference a good camera can make..







    I dont think I have a fish that would rate higher than a 4 in the Discus University but I still think they look great in photographs.
