It's been 2 years, DDD Discus

[Elcid]

Hahaha! Again, please accept my apologies, I haven't taken the pics yet and I would appreciate it if you would refrain from posting until I have a few pics up :)....thanks!

It's been 2 years! Wow! and NO PICS??? What a tragedy! So let's get started, I have a few fish still ;)....

As for the credits, all these fish you will see on this thread were obtained from Mary Suby of DDD Discus and imported from Mr. David Lim of Fishiotribe! My thanks to both of them for making this hobby a special one!

Okay no more words! Just pics! Enjoy! :)

take care,
Sandeep

[Elcid]

Okay, these pics are actually a couple of weeks old....But I'll be taking more pics promise :)

Yeah I agree. All I saw was some orange, yellow and spotted background of the tanks. Where are the discus?:D

I second and third their opinion. I could not see the forest from the trees. :D

[Tropical Haven]

I really couldn't see any either, could you please enlarge the pictures so we can see them. :D

[Elcid]

I was going to make this a pics only thread but out of concern for my friends I'm forced to post this from the MayoClinic website:

Introduction
Farsightedness (hyperopia) is a common vision condition in which you can see objects in the distance clearly, but objects nearby are blurry. If you're farsighted, your eye is probably too short from front to back, causing light rays to be focused behind rather than on the back of your eye (retina).

The degree of your farsightedness determines your focusing ability. People who are severely farsighted are able to see clearly only objects that are a great distance away from their eyes. If you're mildly farsighted, you may be able to see clearly objects that are closer to you.

Farsightedness usually is present at birth and tends to run in families. Most young people don't know they have the condition because the lens of their eye is flexible enough to compensate for the condition. Therefore, most young people with farsightedness don't need corrective lenses. But as they age, the lens becomes less elastic and unable to make the necessary adjustment. By middle age, most farsighted people need corrective lenses to improve their near vision.

A basic eye exam can confirm farsightedness. You can easily correct this condition with eyeglasses or contact lenses. Another treatment option is surgery.

IN SHORT, MOVE BACK FROM THE SCREEN!!!


HTH,

IN SHORT, MOVE BACK FROM THE SCREEN!!!

I could move to Canada and those pictures still be to big!

[Ed13]

The pics show perfect in my monitor:confused: but maybe some full tank shots would be nice!

Nice discus, btw!

[Kenny's Discus]

Hey Sandeep, to me they look fine too, just resize them a size smaller would have been easier on the eye. I just got out of eye surgery ya know?:D

Good, healthy looking fish you got there. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, PR is farther than Canada you know!!!:mad::D
Beautiful discus Sandeep!

[Greg Richardson]

Very nice fish!

[Bainbridge Mike]

Perfect pictures and perfect fish! They have wonderful coloring, good shape and look very healthy!

Thanks for sharing,
Mike

[brewmaster15]

Hi Sandeep,
Nice seeing some pics of these fish from you.:) I really like the orangey ones very nice shape...what are they called?

and what strain are the spotteds supposed to be?

all look very healthy, nice job raising them.

[LizStreithorst]

The Yellow/Whites are exceptional. I'm not so sure about the SSs. Any word on Mary? Once upon a time she and I were buds.

[Elcid]

LMAO! Pretty funny.
BTW: Nice photos and nice fish

Thanks for your comment. I am very fond of my fish. Sometimes I think, I don't want to post pics because I don't want ANYONE finding fault with my fish! :).....After a while, even the ugly ones grow on you and so please don't mind if I post some pics of my ugly fish too, they also deserve some photographing :)

take care,
Sandeep

[Elcid]

Those are great shots...I don't even have to wear my cheater readers! ;-)

Thanks for your comment! When I started posting these pics I thought maybe ppl should see all the details of my "pets" like they were under the magnifying glass. I resized the pics to be 1024X768 but maybe you guyz might prefer them to by 800X600 - I'll reduce the remainder to that resolution but their may be some sacrifice in the detail!

BTW, you can use the zoom feature in you internet explorer to shrink the pics, maybe give that a try?

take care,
Sandeep

Sandeep,
Very nice looking fish,you've done well !


cheers

Beautiful discus Sandeep!

Hi Ed:

Thanks for your comment. I was just thinking that Canada isn't that far from Washington state? and considering all these fish travelled all the way from Singapore to New Jersey maybe they deserve better ;)

thanks,
Sandeep

[Elcid]

Very nice fish!

Thanks Greg, I'm glad you like them! I'll be posting more pics tonight :)

take care,
Sandeep

Wow Mike:

I appreciate your comment but perfection maybe stretching it a bit ;)

Hi Al:

Thanks for you comment. I wonder if I'm allowed to name my fish? I bought those "orangey ones" as RedWhites but they were only 1". I wonder if I fed them some Carophyl Pink or Red whether they will become RedWhites....Anyway I'm very happy with the way they look. Just by looking at them they seem to be a cross between a snow white and some pigeon ;)....

The spotted fish that I have show so far (and I have 3 of them) are called GLSSI, I am told that they are a cross between LSS and Golden (with PB genes) The unique quality o these fish is that they are pepperless and barless or maybe very faint bars.....

I appreciate your comment on my raising them well....Actually, I didn't raise them that well keeping them in RO water only and feeding them only bloodworms.....But, they are strong and alive and I haven't been hit with any surprises from the water company!

take care,
Sandeep

Hi Liz:

Thanks for your comment! I haven't heard from Mary in 2 years but I think she's doing allright! She did speak of you a few times after all you are the discus expert and Vet? Maybe this thread will bring her back to the forum and discus?

take care,
Sandeep

[Elcid]

Sandeep,
Very nice looking fish,you've done well !

Hi Darren:

Thanks for your comment. Just wait a bit and I'm going to post pics of fish I didn't do so well with :)

take care,
Sandeep

[Elcid]

That was too funny!


umm....Sandeep...they are HUGE!.......resize...teensy weensy bit! They are great pictures tho!

Hi Marie:

Thanks for your comment. I'll try I'll try but just how much is teensy weensy? I want them to be big so you can see the scales and the holes in the head ;)...

thanks,
Sandeep

[Elcid]

The pics show perfect in my monitor:confused: but maybe some full tank shots would be nice!

Nice discus, btw!

Hi Ed, if I had nice even lighting a "whole tank shot" would work but right now it might be a bit difficult since I am shooting with a 110 watt 2 foot Coralife reef light and waiting patiently for the fish to take position!

take care,
Sandeep

Sandeep, You misunderstood her. I am a Discus enthusiast and a groomer at a veterinary hospital. If you hear from Mary again, please send her my best and let her know that she can always find me on the forums.

[Elcid]

Okay, I hope this size is more acceptable!

My most precious fish, the female that has given me a future. Can you believe I almost didn't buy her?

Sandeep, good looking fish my friend, enjoy looking at all your pics.

I'd bet that fish in your last pic is indeed a female. 3 to 1 I say she is!;)

Thanks,
Kenny

Hi Kenny:

Thanks for your comment, I hope ur right. 3:1 odds is pretty good right? :)....With so many fish and only one female golden laying eggs weekly, it's kinda depressing! But, I suppose it's my fault! Everything always is! :)

take care,
Sandeep

[phidelt85]

Wow, you've really got some nice-looking fish. I too enjoy all these pictures. Keep 'em comin'!!!! :D

Thanks for your comment, but maybe that's enough pics for this thread and time to start a new thread with the babies of these fish??? I'm glad to see so many ppl posting pics of their fish! Be proud of them :) and lets see lotsa pics, in this digital world how can we not?

take care,
Sandeep
