random shots of my new discus

[Jolley]

Hello, everyone.

I just started keeping discus as of yesterday. I'm truly looking forward to a long future with them. As of now, I have 16 in a 90 gallon tank (4 foot). I have a 300 gallon tank that I will soon convert to a discus tank. I have to sell my wild caught Zaires first. Anyways, here are several shots of my new discus. By the way, they all range from 2.5 to 3.5 inches and I will be taking the gravel out soon.

Looks like you are on your way. The discus is a pigeon blood with a bit of peppering. I dont get caught up with all the fancy names.

Hi John,
Nice meeting you and your wife. I wish you got your initial batch from me instead of the fishtore. Give them a little time to get accoustomed to their environment. The fins looks a little clamped. Check your ammonia and nitrite level.

Hi, Dan.

It was greating meeting you too. I wish the same as well. But I'm glad I found you. I ended up taking all the gravel out of the tank after talking to you last night. They all seem to be doing really well now. I'll have to get used to bare bottom tanks. :)
