Discus!

I got photo happy again!
They were just looking so cute so I had to get the camera out!

Russell....The show off and boss of the tank

Tigey....used to sulk but is becoming more confident and is growing up to be a lovely fish

Ruski and Tigey....Ruski is newish, not sure of sex, but has teamed up with Tigey

And finally Ruby....she lays eggs every Tuesday and eats them on the third day after Russell has been such a good dad to them!

In the photo about my plants? That was Russell, he came out from behind the plant to shoo me away as they have eggs back there at the moment

Oh. Had they been angels, then it would have been ok to break off the decaying leaves, seeing as how you would have to move the eggs for fear of cannibalism.

Well, they are lovely specimens. Can youget a shot of the eggs, or does that freak the parents out too much?

if the eegs are on a cone you can put a net around it.. sometimes they just eat the fry once the hatched other times they let the fry feed on them, it a gamble but leaving the to be eaten is one aswell..

So are the rest. Say when you say sulking did you mean lost its colour? Mine as lost its colour since i got it 1 and 1/2 weeks ago. It is as though it is badly stressed. :-(

No he mainly sulked because he was being bullied by Russell, if he came out from behind the plant he would get chased back in. But since I got Ruski it has evened out the bullying a bit and he is more confident.
Normally when they are stressed or unwell they tend to go darker in colour and when they are happy lighter, but thats just what Ive gathered from watching them.

Yeah, they turn on and off, sometimes when males are showing off or playing pecking order, sometimes when they are frightened, sometimes when they are stressed. Just depends. :dunno:

I know when I press my face right up to the glass they tend to put their stripes on. Maybe im not a pretty sight?

I love all discus, I dont compete to find the best ones, I just pick the cute ones!
