No mate none of the above fish will tolerate discus temps well.

Great pics mark... had no doubt when i saw the title it would be discus pmsl

 

[markandhisfish]

thanks

lol jake , yep you guessed it . discus . there are the cardinals but they are so hyper that all i get is a red/blue blur , theres 2 gold rams and 2 bolivian rams as well, but lets face it they aint as much fun to photograph

while im at it i managed to get a better one of the red turquoise . btw that red/blue blure isnt on the dorsal fin it a cardinal shooting pas at 100 mph

thanks mate plants are struglling , think i need to re-think the ferts im using . ideally could use more light as well but not really suited to the discus. so i think its gonna take a while to crack the plants. the swords are doing ok , if slowly but the H. polysperma isnt really doing much.

Absolutely stunning!

Shame on you Mark, what more can I say?!

[stang1]

if you're thinking about discus stang1....go for it!!! i would if i could!

 

[stang1]

Lol, I'm getting more and more tempted and I'll be holding Mark fully accountble if I do!

 

[Jenni84]

ha ha i dont know how you can possibly resist after seeing Marks pics!!!

 

[markandhisfish]

Lol, you keep showing them photos and I will crack!

so it probably wouldnt help if i said they are sooooooo much more interesting than people think. a lot of people think that they are all looks and no character. but not only can i hand feed mine , now i can put my hand in the tank without ny food and they all come rushing over ( ok so they are expecting to be fed) and i can stroke them and they will all swim through my fingers.

Hmmm, I'm pretty much won over with the idea now. Think I'll wait to catch my other half in a great mood and break it to him....gently
