Lovely discus!
To be honest however, I liked your first arrangement better as there was more variation in height.

Looking good m8, did you get the discus from a breeder called jimmy tinny in denny??, he's my cousins father inlaw, he stays in one of the streets of bamego road..

He also has his own strain of guppy and breeds corys, keep meaning to go up and get some sterbai and albino corys of him..

Thanks chaps and chapettes!! Always makes your day to hear nice things bout your tank.

Kev i got the two diamonds and the marlbora from Chens and the other two came from a chap called Dougie in Denny. I have heard about your uncle but havent made contact with him to either buy or visit him to see his set up. His discus and set up are meant to be good though. Another chap on here (michael) has bought some fish from him i think.

You are right about the tank it is the 260.

Biulu,
I agree with you about the height!! after Christmas i am going looking for a larger, thinner, taller (however you want to describe it) branchier, bit of bogwood to give me some height in the tanks. I am also going to add some more onion bulb things. I have two growing on this now to give me the long straggly height. Not sure if my Swords will get much bigger but hopefully.

Does anybody have any idea when i would be able to sex the discus or is that hard to do at this age?

[nemodemo]

Nice pictures. I love your picture of the Pidgeon Blood fish. How much did you buy for it?

 

[freerunner416]

Thanks Adam and nemodemo.

Nemo the breakdown on fish is
Red Alenquer - £10
Pidgeon Blood - £10
2 Blue Diamonds - £20
Marlbora Red - £25

Local dealer did me a deal on the Red and the Pidgeon Blood as i bought 2 for a mate at the same time.

Would you believe i posted the same pics on a discus forum and one chap has slated the fish. Every single one. Think he believes that the fish have to be textbook perfect to get a place in a tank!! He said "I would have culled them all before 2 months". Thats a confidence booster!

It is pleasing to hear that you guys like them.

Thanks guys
