Nhamunda Browns

[ExReefer]

These were delivered to me on 2/15. I didn't measure them, but they are large. The nicest one (with the bars) is very large. His color and bars remind me of a tiger. He's easily the most gorgeous discus I've ever owned. I know they are browns, but I also see some slight red color developing on their upper body towards their head. That was a nice surprise. Their color gets better by the day. Thanks John!

Nice wilds and like the simplicity of the tank.

Thanks for sharing, great fish, there is one in particular that is outstanding!

I also love the tank set-up, very clean, one suggestion if I may, place your heater on a horizontal plane, closer to the bottom so you have more clearence for water changes.

Thanks for comments. I do think the one with the bars is simply outstanding! He's easily the best looking discus I've ever seen in person.

I didn't like the look of the horizontal heater as it catches too much light and reflects badly. I don't change more than 35-40% of the water at one time. If they ever show signs of spawning, I will have to place the heater somewhere else.

I liked these browns in John's tank shots and John tried to talk me into them. You are lucky I passed (and I cry).

These wilds also like the taste of cardinal tetras. You'll see in the first photo the two cardinals. Those are the only two left!

Nice fish! Good luck with them. I will have to post a few pics of my fish. :-)

Nice looking group of browns. That a 80 gal tank? They fill it out about perfect. The anubis looks great, very nice and clean tank. Well done.

Thanks. It's 75G tank. I would like some more wilds, but I just don't think I have the proper amount of space for more. Four adult discus in a 75G feels right to me. I'm just glad they get along so far. It could change down the road if their any pairing up.

That's anubias hastifolia. I like it because it has longer stalks.

Very nice fish and I love the simplicity of the setup.

Thanks for sharing

I am a big fan of "minimalist" aquascaping.

Your tanks rocks and your wilds are beautiful.

Nice work!

Thanks! Sometimes I think about adding vertical branches and floating plants, but then I go back to K.I.S.S. The pool filter sand is very easy to siphon in this tank and the fish seem to feel secure with what little decor I have in there. Adding more decor will make the fish look even more cramped. These adults make the tank feel small enough.
