Update on my newly aquired discus

[zchauvin]

Hey guys got these a few days ago from chuckbam. My first ever two lfs fish.. well died. The second time around I did things the responsible way after reading everything.

Tell me how they look.

They look ok from what I can see but it's kinda hard to tell because of the camera angle. They're eating well and seem alert which is good. They don't seem to be stunted so that's good too. Best of luck with them and post some pics when they start to color up more!

Joey!

They look good, lively and eating well. What strain are they?

[strawberryblonde]

Are those Stendker santarems? They look wonderful! How are they adjusting to life in your tank?

[YSS]

They look nice and healthy to me. Good luck!

[scottthomas]

[naruwan]

very nice...

Thanks for all the comments guys just checked in on thread. They are adjusting wonderfully and were eating from my hand the next day after transfer. They are stendker santarems that I purchased from chuckbam last Sunday. Lol they run to water surface any time I enter room no matter if their stomachs are bulging or not. They eat like pigs!!! In 3 weeks they will be moved to 75g display. I'll update Sunday which would be one week with me :)

They look great and very healthy.
I have a group of 6 Stendker Santarems for the last two years now.
All I can say is they are possibly one of the most hardiest strains of Discus I've had to date.
Secondly, they offer the wild look strain which the many of us acquire from a domestic strain.
You will not be disappointed.

They look great and great feeding response.

Thanks Pat I'm trying to keep it together with all the cycling stuff and what not.

[Second Hand Pat]

Zach, your discus are showing no ill effects from the mini-cycle. Keep doing what you are doing. Relax and breath, ok?

[chuckbam]

Zach,

Good Job! They look like they have grown a little.

[Darrell Ward]

They look good. Keep up the good work.
