those look like very nice babies. and your pics are great for your first attempts.
where did you get your fishies?ok..now you have the camera to take pics of your babies....now you need more fishies to take pics of. ;D

another snakeskin about the same size

[midnight1]

2 1/2" tangerine

[midnight1]

i bought them from Cary Strong - and yes i'll be getting more but first more tanks need too be set up once my room is done - early 2003 - i hope.

the other thing i notice is camera angle really matters how the fish looks - especially the tangerines - note how the last fish looks sunken at the tail but in real life it doesn't - i'm guessing either lighting or the flash? not sure

Your pics are ok, but your fish are nicer than the pics. Just keep playing and you'll find the right settings. Its not easy to get good pics, but its fun. ;)

Very nice Paul they look great :thumbsup:

These young discus are good examples of what small fish can and should look like. I hope the other vendors and dealers that visit this sight see your photos, maybe something will click and they will quit peddling junk.

I'd take some more photos Paul and post them in the beginners section.... "what to buy"

Those are sweet, looks like you doing a fantastic job raising them :thumbsup:

Ken

good job growing them out! ;)

[Ryan]

Looks like your babies are growing up, as babies tend to do (well, provided they get the right care, that is!)... Good job with them! Congrats :)

Ryan ;D

[SLY]

good to see that ur happy with your discus..that cary is evil..you will get more after ur addicted to them just like me. ;D

Very Nice Paul :thumbsup:,

I think you and I ordered right around the same time and recieved fish from the same brood.... Its great to see the comparison.

Here a pic from right around Dec 16.

another

near 2 mos later.... note the same heater on the bottom of the tank...

one more... I sure hope you can see a difference. As my pics are not the best...

[midnight1]

they do look similar to mine. have you noticed any of them growing faster than the others (tangerine wise) ? mine i have 3 out of the 5 are growing bigger and have more black on the edges of their fins. i'm guessing that those might be males vs. the slightly smaller and less black on the fin edges as females? i know i need to seperate these poor discus soon so that they have more room. unfortunately i'm so busy i don't have time to work on my fish room. maybe i just set up a 55 gallon tank upstairs "temporarily" - my wife would love that - yeah right.

paul

I would have to say they are real close. A couple a tad bit larger. What size tank do you have them in now?

:)

[midnight1]

i only have them in a 55 right now. it has 7 snakeskins at about 2 3/4" each on average and then 5 tangerines at about 3 1/4" on average. so 12 fish total. i do feed thema lot and do plenty of w.c. so i don't think they are loosing growth yet but i'm thinking that pretty soon they might.
