    Default Indian Tigers

    Hi

    Just thought id share a few quick pics of my discus i picked up today !

    These guys are the pride and joy of my tank now and are around 15-16cm (i think)




    Am crossing my fingers they turn out to be a pair ( although this may be just wishful thinking !)




    Cheers
    Craig

    Very nice! Where did you get them?

    How about a tank shot? I can see what looks like a 3d amazon background???

    Thanks everyone

    I believe that these have just come straight out of quarantine from singapore, as i have a friend who ordered them for me from a wholesaler somewhere in Australia.

    How about a tank shot? I can see what looks like a 3d amazon background???
    I have a styrofoam background which was great 12 ago but doesnt look like what is was when it was made and will be removing in soon and replacing it.

    Will try and get a full tank shot but is difficult being a large tank (7x2x2)


    I also got 4 alenquer reds and 2 albino`s yesterday which are around 6cm and have put them in a bare bottom tank to feed them up and grow them out so will put some pics up of these guys too(they also came from the same source)

    Cheers
    Craig

    Thanks for all your comments guys , having people with your experience telling me i have good fish is comforting

    Here are some pics of my alenquers and albinos i got also.




    These i bought as albino`s but dont have a pink eye ?




    Ive since found that arnt used to a fluro light and have been feeding them when its off until they adjust.



    They are skinny atm but am gonna pump lots of food into these guys !

    Cheers
    Craig

    How good is that? Are you setting up a breeding tank for them? Put me down for some

    It seems a red melon has decided he likes the spawning cone also and is hanging around it with the indians and wont go away?, the indians have their ovipositers out also.

    Cheers
