My New Discus

[PaulineMi]

I don't know their age but they range in size from 3" for the butterfly,  4" for the jewel,  4 1/2" for the leopard and 5" for the Penang.

These are the fish she choose from http://www.centralohiodiscus.com/Current%20Stock.htm  My guess is that they are between 4 1/2 months to 8 or 9 months of age.

These guys have been here a little over three weeks now.  They peck at my hands when I'm cleaning their tank....with their teeth!  They also swim around my hands, brushing up against them. It's interesting to feel how warm and soft they are.

Here they are today:



This is what the dark colored one looks like when he's not in a dark corner of the tank:

Pretty fish Pauline, I will make their cone as beautiful as they are.  Cave too.

Thanks Barb.  I'd also like a planter for their sword if possible.

Will do, and the angel wall hanging also.  I started back to clay work yesterday, finally.  Good to get my hands in clay again after almost 3 mo. without.

Great to hear they have settled in well and you are getting so much enjoyment from them Pauline.

Thanks for the pic of the fish I like most.  It has conformation to die for.  It will be fun to see how it colors up. 

[PaulineMi]

I figured you'd like seeing that one Liz.  The blue fins encircling the rose colored body is starting to express nicely too. It's still hard to capture it in a picture though.

[LizStreithorst]

It has potential.  Only time will tell.
