Cheers guys , I'm loving the discus. a lot calmer than Malawi and love the way they interact as a group ,  I have played around with a heap of backgrounds over the years ,

black ,blue ,timber, red ,silver stainless etc , never find one I like so have been without for some time ,prefer the shimmer of the led without one . want to keep as light as possible as not to encourage peppering on fish . W/C 30-40% every 2-3rd day helping keep everything nice and clear and fish loving it

Recently switched from Malawi to Discus , thought id share a few pics .

 

Fish been in just under 3 weeks now , all around 8-10 cm so not showing full colour yet ,

7 in total  - red checker , red & blue turk and a golden leopard and around 20 rummy nose

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking for marble peackock display males aprox 10 cm ,white blue red or orange blue combo , quality only

Bit of a rescape for my 260ltr thought I would share

I am and have been for years thanks buddy

Thats a very general assumption.I think alot of hobbyist would be happy to pay good price for good quality, I know I would be happy to.

Cheers guys , tank is 260ltr bow front
Currently feeding NLS cichlid , hikari gold and chilli red from aquotix for extra colour kick

At home with sick daughter today , perfect time for some quick snaps

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ilangi look great when showing bright. Can look alot like moliro when they are dark/not great quality.I constantly battled to get my old colony showing that nice yellow/red and purple.i would go for nice ikola or dubosi as they always show true.

yep the marbles are nice got one at 10cm and 6cm  both very similar

 

 

 

knocked up a new LED lit background yesterday come up a treat colours really pop  .
 

 

tank is a juwel bow front 260lt. Yes there is a culprit fin nipper , cant put a finger on who as yet , must be happing at night . I have a little BN who is a agro little shite  and a gold spot around 15 cm don't know if they are likely to be causing some damage at lights out ?? was thinking of dosing with melafix but don't know how affective if is , anyone find it works ??

Fish were looking pretty good tonight , thought I would snap a few pics and share

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ive got a couple of kigoma  in with my Malawi , so far so good . They are a bit shy at feeding time, wont come to the surface so I just drop in some sinking pellets white the rest are feeding at the top
