I moved the Tefes to my 90 in the foyer. The tank needs a background but it will work for now. I moved the Tefes last night and these guys settled right in. The water is a little dark for decent pictures.

Love those spots Pat! The tannins look great as well. I have always been a fan of tannins in a wild group setup. TFS

With their WC today I will reduce the tannins in the water and see if I can get better pictures.

beautiful. BTW, what do you use to produce the tannins. I use to use compressed peat from Ireland but it was a pain so I gave it up. And no, it wasn't for wilds it was for Al's green turks which I would really like to find some but I think they no longer exist.

One of my wilds mentors says that sunlight helps to color up wild discus and these guys have not had any natural light in a good while. The tank does get a little early morning sunlight so hope that has positive effects on the fish.

These guys have had a few days to settle in their new tank and the video shows that. One thing I noted is my two F1s breath harder then their wild counterparts. I bet somewhere I damaged their gills when I was raised them :(

These are the Tefe's from Mark from his March shipment. They are just super nice fish.
Same fish, both side and nicely spotted.

Is there a big difference of color and behavior when in just tap?
Second Hand Pat
05-18-2014, 10:05 PM
If you want to encourage breeding behavior adding RO is needed. Also their color is better in softer water so yes to both.
