Kevin Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 After all of the discus discussion I wanted to share my current little projects with you. Here is a sampling of the fish that I am raising. They are now 3-4 inches and I have had them for just over 2 months now. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 nice fish as always kevin. Thanks Quinn, they still have a long way to go, but there is some potential there. Shouldn't you be in bed? It is a school night. Good night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Ram Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Very nice and lots of hard work!! My favourite is the second picture - wink wink!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Great fish there Kevin, I have seen large discus with similar colors as the one in the second pic, and they are absolutely gorgeous when they get big. You have some really nice discus there I was in golds the other day and they had some snow white discus and some really nice blue diamonds, which should be out of quarantine soon, and of course like always for a decent price. Actually I think Denis had about 5 different types in there last friday when we went in. What size of tank do you have them in right now?

geleen Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Very nice! :thumbs: I am in the Netherlands right now and went to look at a discus specialty store with a lot of "bred in Germany" discus. Well........I guess the nice ones go elsewere. I have seldom seen such poor quality fish. Of the 150 or so fish in the store there were a few, perhaps 10 decent (not great) ones! I did not expect this, as even 16 months ago the quality was very high. I believe this hatchery is now exporting to the U.S in very large numbers, and they seem to be quite succesful in penetrating the market there. The result here is obvious. :boxed: J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish_Frenzy Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Ohhh! very nice Kevin! nice round bodies, high fins...they are going to be lookers when they get bigger. I like the one in the 4th pic..unusual coloring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discus_Galore Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Beautiful fish, congrats. Will you try to breed any of them? Were they already colored when you bought them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CORVETTE Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 a Little trick i used when breeding is i bought some nice wild caught discus and raised them in another tank. When they paired off i seperated them in to breeding pairs. I used the wild pairs to be seregate parents for my fancy discus that didn't want to raise there own young. I worked for me for a few years, learned about it from a breeder in thiland..sp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
