Hello,
I'm looking for some opinions on the exact types of discus that I have.
I aquired them from different sources and not quite sure exactly the type that I have.
Pic #1 - This is the first one I got first,
Pic #2 - These 2 came next
Pic #3 - This one I got from a local hobbiest, he told me it is a male Marlboro red
Pic #4 - I got 7 of the babies from a breeder out of San Diego, 6 survived and are doing great. Actually they started to do alot better once I took them out of the quarantine tank and put them in the main tank.
Pic #5 - This is a picture of the whole tank, it is a 150g acryllic tank built into the wall of my family room. I run 2 emp 400's & 2 magnum 200's on it. Everything but the gravel and fake plants was picked out of local lakes & rivers here in Michigan.
Any help on identifing what I have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
(My desire is to get the babies to adult hood and then try and see if I can get a breeding pair out of the group. I know I have at least 1 male so I'm hoping to get a female out of the rest and see if they can breed.)
