Oriental Reds LFS

[Eddie]

Picked these 2 up from the LFS today. Originally I only wanted one of them but upon further examination, I am 99.9% sure they are a pair. I was able to talk the guy down on these 2 for a price you could not even imagine! The female is the nicely shaped one with less striations. The male could definitely be better in shape but I figured what the hell, I'll work with these. I'm adoring the female! They've already started dancing in the tank. I'm assuming a day or 2 and they'll spawn.

Thanks Vera, I KNOW, very nice for the LFS. They sometimes get in some decent discus from time to time but very HIGH in price. They had a bunch of real ugly juvies in the tank with these 2 and I was very surprised on how low these were in price. At first I didn't think much about them but I couldn't keep from investigating the female. LOL

Yeah, I went out on a limb. LOL I don't think they are golden based, they really look more of a kool-aid red in person. In the pictures they appear more brown than they really are. I don't think they are pigeon based either so I am at a loss. They may just be brown based and heavily color fed with red or possible hormoned from the redness in their fins. The fins should be clear, no color at all unless they are fed color enhancing foods or hormoned. I guess we'll find out which one it is after a while. They in some serious QT at the moment. The tank they are in, is actually pink so.....just imagine.

nice

[Jennie]

I like them both allot frankly. are you going to feed a color enhancing food or let them fade up to natural??? and also interested in the heater in that tank...what brand?

[roundfishross]

thats a sera heator!

[William Palumbo]

Look good Eddie! I just hope if they are hormoned, that it did not sterilize them, the male mostly. They don't look too "juiced" up. You can always pair the female with something else if all else fails. You'll start to find out shortly!...Bill

[ockyra215]

ok Eddie I officially hate you now LOL Good luck with them and I like that green sippy cup next to the tank !

Great looking fish Eddie! I have never even seen a discus in a LFS in New England (though I haven't looked around Boston). Hope these two work out for you.

Nice pick Eddie!

Will be really curious to see if the color changes at all. Very interesting mix you got there! Like you said, female looks great!

Best wishes!

I'm really partial to Reds, and those 2 are superb, Eddie.
Look forward to the anticipated spawning !

Sweet fish Eddie! Thinking its some type of Turk cross???

I want to be more jealous than I already am, how much did you drop for them?

[Skip]
