Hello again discus fans! Things are pretty uneventful these days, and a good thing too since my available time is diminishing rapidly. I've changed the feeding a little. I was running out of seafood mix so I was going heavy on Hikari FBW and I noticed their colors seemed quite a bit brighter and they just looked better in some way I can't quite articulate. So now they get the FBW 4x a day the mix twice and dried foods, tetra color bits and prime reef flakes in between. Auto water changes are flawless. Comforting thought since I'll be spending 2 or 3 days a week away from home for the next couple months.
In this update I want to talk about each fish individually. Getting a good solo shot of each fish was a little more difficult than I thought. I was thinkng about heading up to Oregon to take some photo lessons from Bill.
They are listed here from smallest to largest.
First up is the yellow one called Banana. Part of his problem is he is low man on the totem pole. He is one of the reasons I want to seperate at least two from this tank. I think the dimensions of my tank, basically a cube, is crowding the fish and creating an environment to promote bullying. There's just no place for the poor guy to go. He ends up in the corner behind the inlet for the canister. There's always food in the tank so he gets his chance to eat but I would like to get him his own crib.
Next is a nameless one. Not very remarkable but the fact that I say that is testament to the fact that the quality of all these fish is so very high. If I saw this fish in a store I'd probably go nuts.
This is Lucifer. This one has the best striations of any in my group.
Another nameless one. This one and the two to follow are all fairly close in size. Nice colors on this one.
My favorite Nacho. He's not the biggest but his dark golden hue is just awesome. Beautiful fish. Nuff said.
The biggest of the bunch. I just named this one Spike.If you look along the anal fin about half way down you'll see a protruberance that looks like a spike. This one also has the most spots. I really like this fish a lot.
Thanks for looking!!
