Stendker Show Discus

[Larry Bugg]

I was fortunate to bring home 3 of the Stendker Show Discus. Red Turq, Red SS and a Flachen SS. The Red Turq is in with a Stendker Tefe and the Red SS is in with a Stendker Red Turq. I will have to get some pics of the Flachen later.

Hi Larry,

Thanks for posting. I've been looking for a good picture of a Stendker Tefe. Any plans with using it in your breeding plans? The others are really nice too.

Right now I have her in with a big Red Turq from the Show. I would like to get a few spawns from them and see what I get. I think they will produce some very nice turqs. I would also like to cross her with my wilds.

Thanks guys. Got a little dancing going on and cleaning the cones so maybe some eggs in the next few days. Stendkers are dependable, lol.

Ok, so here are some pics of the Flachen SS. I loved this discus as soon as I saw the pics of him.

Thanks Trish. I'm very happy with it.

Most of the Flachen's I have seen are clearly green but this guy is more blue/viloet. My plan is to try and pair him off with a really pretty Cobalt I have.


Nice Larry! I have the other Stendker Tefe.

Rick

Thanks Rick. This tefe wasn't one of the two Show fish. I bought 3 of the Show fish - Red Turq, Red SS and Flachen SS. The Tefe and the smaller Turq in the pictures above came directly from Hans. I'm pretty sure the Show Red Turq and Show Red SS are both males and the Tefe and other Turq I got directly from Hans are hopefully females. Well, I now know the smaller Red Turq is female because she is on eggs this morning. I was going to get one of the Show Tefe's but Josie really wanted one of them so I got the Red Turq instead. I'm very interested to see if the one you got turns out to be male or female. With all the experts at the Show I got mixed guesses. If it had been clearly a male, I would have wanted it, lol.

I will let you know, I plan I pairing the tefe with a proven female that has been laying every week. Funny thing is, me getting this Tefe was a mistake, I was suprised to see it when I opened the box from Chad, I had actually picked three other show fish but the numbers got mixed up when Hans editted his pictures on facebook.

[DonMD]

Yeah, that Flachen was my favorite. Not the biggest in the show by any means, but beautiful form, coloration, markings. If you ever want to move that fish, Larry, just let me know.

[Eddie]

Nice BIG fish Larry!

[Discus-Hans]

Larry,

glad to see they are all doing well (and dropping eggs already lol) Funny I'm crossing the other Tefe female with a Leopard, they have a nice batch of fry. Maybe I close the overflow to see how they turn out lol lol

[Larry Bugg]

Well...........I had thought the huge Show Turq and Show SS were both males. You just never know do you........at least not until she lays eggs. The Stendker Show SS laid eggs about 3AM this morning and the Show Turq appeared to be making passes to fertilize them. I have been waiting since the Show to get a sex on these guys and the tank was aggressive and pecking so I stayed up late to see who was doing what. Quickly put a poret divider in, some meth blue and a cage around the cone.

[Second Hand Pat]

I'm with Josie Larry, nice shape and beefy fish. Congrats and hope you end up with wigglers. :)

[strawberryblonde]

Congrats Larry, those are awesome looking fish! =)

[Disgirl]

Beautiful sight Larry! Good luck with them, will be great fry!

Thanks guys. Wigglers this morning so they are confirmed. I had expected most of Hans Stendker Show discus to be males so I had some "regular" Stendkers to pair these guys off with. What a great surprise to get two of the Show fish paired.
