I just got my ring leopard, red turq and checkerboard pigeon today. Such gorgeous fish!! A bit skittish from the level of activity around the tank, but otherwise they seemed to adapt well. Still exploring!
Perfect packaging :D

Will do! I didn't want to keep the light on too long and bother them with my camera so I didn't take many tonight. We'll see how they are tomorrow!
WOW !!beautiful fish, love these rings ;) but the Turq is a stunner!!
Best of luck Jenna !

The leopard is my favorite :) and the turq is taking the longest to adjust...definitely the shyest! Hopefully it comes around by tomorrow!

I love all 3! The turk has really nice fins though! Does he seem more comfortable today?

I believe it was from the batch that was labeled as Red Turquoise 1 (US lip)? Which I'm not sure was US lip means, but he was $75. Thank you!!

Yes, but he's still dark on and off. They all are more comfortable, and the pecking order has begun!

That's awesome fish. I was all over albino before. Now I been very much interested in classic discus.

Albinos are very unique, but I find the lot of them to be pretty similar to eachother. There are soooo many strains to choose from, kinda a headache!

That's Ung Seng Lip if I'm not mistaken, he would be the breeder in Malaysia that created that great fish!
HTHs,

Jenna love all your fish, good luck with them!
Absolutely love the RT, and the ring leopard comes in close second, but....do you have only 3 discus in the tank?

05-21-2010, 11:31 PM
Well, I had 3 others for them to join, but two just recently died :/

K guys- here's a buttload of pictures.
Ps, the BD is not from Mike. He is a fish I had previously. I only have four in the tank currently cause 2 of my previous fish died :(
Also, excuse my bare, horrendous aquascaping. I'm still brainstorming what I want to do with it.

The turk is so shy. I cannot get a head on picture of him

This picture is hilarious, because I was trying to take a picture of my "three amigos", when the BD SHOT right into the frame, hence him being blurry. He would not leave my camera lens alone. It took forever to shoot around him.

This picture doesn't do this justice, and he kinda had his bars showin..but my leopard has the MOST incredible coloration I have ever seen. He literally shines. Especially when sunlight hits the tank...it's like a rainbow.

They look great Jenna, love the shy Turk! I'm also gathering ideas for aquascaping the 75gal I'm getting soon, the key is keep it simple and elegant, they still need a very clean environment especially when growing out.
