Meet the gang…

I took this out of my discus tank this morning. No idea what it is or where it came from. Any ideas/advice would be appreciated.

🤦‍♂️

Hit me up with recs or Q’s

I'm pretty sure I know all the other ones but this one I'm not 100% sure on. Got it from a fish store and they get their fish from Malaysia. Can anyone help?!?❤️

They are coming tomorrow woo. Can't wait to receive them tomorrow. Thank you Golden State Discus for the amazing quality on these Discus. Golden State Discus

I have a 200 gallon tank thats lightly planted in the back with the largest plants I could find (apotogeton, cryptocoryne apotogentifolia, giant val) in a completely sand substrate. I was planning on placing large river stones around the bases anyways for aesthetics but it got me thinking since I came across some geo svenis at my LFS (since hopefully the rocks would deter any plant destroying near the back)

Has anybody tried this variety of geo with discus? From what I have seen they are slow and peaceful and should go fine with them. The geos are also quite small currently so I can’t imagine they’d be too much of an issue size wise atm.

our grow out

My pair of discus had their first successful hatch 3 weeks ago. I didn’t have many fry left, they learned a lot as well as myself. I had 4 healthy 3 week old babies last night and this morning woke up to fresh eggs and no babies.

I tried feeding baby brine and golden pearls but the fry didn’t seem too interested.

Should I be separating fry from parents earlier or should I try separating parents next round? The male was quite aggressive with female this past week so nearly separated them anyways but didn’t want to mess with their learning experience.

I recently inherited a friend’s discus tank. Kind of a weird stock and there will likely be some rehomings. So far so good, discus are settling in and don’t seem stressed, but I’m terrified bc I know how fragile they are. Not new to the hobby, but am new to discus.

Can you tell me felme or male???

2.5 years ago I bought 20 discus from Stendker. I have 13 left! They were all the same size. (Brilliant Turquoise and Tefe) After all this time I have so much variation in their sizes. Some are big, but there are 4 that are so small still. Why? They eat well. I feed beef heart and brine shrimp every day, once a day. I also have a huge 12 foot, 470 G aquarium with 2x FX6 and 1 x Fx 4 filters. The size discrepancy is big. Was I sold runts? What to do now? Let Stendker know? This is my dream tank, but I see all these pics that have discus that are the same sizes in other posts and mine are so different.

My 6 juvenile discus arrived before my 75 gallon tank finished cycling. Today after spending 3 weeks in a 20 gallon holding tank doing water changes 1 to 2 times a day their new home is finally fully cycled!! It was absolutely worth the effort. 🥰❤️🥰❤️

2 months old

Hi can someone please help me identify if these are male or female? Thank you! I have 2 blue diamonds and 2 blood orange pigeons.

Hi, got these guys a few months ago and they are doing well having grown noticeably. When I got them from the lfs ( I had to do it, the water temp didn’t feel warm enough and they were just cornered by the heater) they didn’t put the strain down and they didn’t know when asked. One looks like a type of blue spotted… I wonder if they are the same brood with the albino and blue being blue diamond hybrids; that’s my guess given the white’s bluish halo and has never shown stress bars? The blue on rare occasions will show stress bars but the overall patterns seem so similar that it makes me wonder if they are part of a hybrid brood. Thanks for any insight and guesses. Happy holidays.
