    Default Wild Cuipeua Group

    Two different shipments from Mark at Discus Origins. I have had the first group about 7 weeks and the 2nd group 3 weeks. They have been in separate QT's. The 2nd group had been doing so great that I went ahead and put the two groups together this weekend. Enjoy the pics.

    Thanks Pat. I need to learn how to do a good side by side with photos so I can run a comparison from the first day till now. This is probably pretty easy and I will feel stupid when someone tells me, lol. Both the royals and solids have changed quite a bit but it is really evident in a couple of the solids.

    Larry, those are very nice Cuipeuas in a very nice setup. The Royals are my favorites. What plants do you have there?

    These guys just look better and better. I combined my two groups and the scene is like the GOP and Democrats in Washington. Be glad when they settle then can start to work on conditioning them.

    Lol, the dynamics of the group really changes when you mix them.

    I pulled the plants from the tank. They were collecting too much gunk. I like the clean look better.
