Discus Id Needed?

[beechey]

i had to buy it it was on its own and felt sorry for it , it was labeled as a blue faced discus
the shop had it by acciendent..

it has settled in the tank within about 30mins , ive never had a discus settle that quickly.... its about 3"

Hi,

by looking at his fins where most discus' colours start he looks like he is going to be a red turk. How much was he where i am you can pick these little fellas up for around £10-£15. get him on prima and bloodworms and he'll brighten up

DA

im not goin say there easy but if you give them all there requirements they need you should have no trouble, basic rules for discus imo are 30 deg, 5+ discus and clean water, and water flow not to strong

red turk hummm not sure, all my discus are fed on beefheart and tetra prima ill have to get another pic in about a month im sure he would of changed alot
