Bandi Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 lovely fish, what is the variety of the fish in the two last photos, red with blue lines. Is that for real or really good lighting? At any rate, simply lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobies et al Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Which one is 'ugly'? They all look gorgeous to me! :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidmomwanabe Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 The last 2 are the Red Turqouise that I got from fish4fun(psst I think he may have some more for sale) and the lighting does make the blue "pop". Here is the ugly according to some people they just euthanize "cull" or stunted discus. I love them and here is a pic of the ugly sorry I forgot to add them( I love them the same if not more) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscusKeeper403 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Only breeders will cull sub par fish. How often do you do water changes and feeding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidmomwanabe Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Only breeders will cull sub par fish.How often do you do water changes and feeding? I do water changes every 2 days 30% one and 50% the next, ect. I feed 4 times a day 8am NLS discus pellets, 12pm NLS flakes 5pm NLS discus pellets 9pm Hikari Frozen blood worms or Hikari frozen brine shrimp. They are in a 30 gallon hex right now with an XP3 filter. They will be moved to a 75 in the next 3 weeks once I get it set up for them and get the cichlids out. They are all an average of 3-4 inches. Or some breeders send them to LFS which is where some of mine came from. I love them the way they are, stunted, peppered doesnt matter to me.

They call then "LFS quality" :P Your feeding and water change regime sounds fine. They should grow out nice and big! Remember, no gravel in your 75g! You won't be sorry (much, much easier to clean.)

All my tanks have sand in them except the 20 that is planted(eco complete substrate) and I do not regret getting rid of the gravel :tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very, Very nice fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
