Really nice. Beautiful fish.
Had about 30 minutes free the other day to myself and chose to try to get individual pics of each of my discus. I'm sure I have duplicates because I have more than eight shots (HA!!!), but wasn't sure which was which on the reverse side. I'll separate amongst Leopards, Eruptions and of course the Cuipeua Cross. Also, I wanted to shoot with no flash to try to show their natural colors. The dim light wasn't helping at all. I did the usual things to try to get better light and better shots and I still feel I missed the mark. At about the 20 minute mark I was getting pretty tired of trying to get that perfect shot and just started taking documentary photos at that point, lol.

Eruption Leopard #3, I call this one stumpy. One of its ventral fins has always been short:

Eruption Leopard #4. This is the only shot I got of this one. This is my smallest discus at 6" on the nose. Measured it about 2 weeks ago.
