I'm loving seeing everyone's discus pictures on here, so I decided to contribute some of my own. I got these guys about a week and a half ago from Kenny, and they are definitely some of the nicest discus I've seen. I'm always hesitant to order online but after this round I'm eagerly waiting for March's shipment to hopefully round out my group. I have others (the snakeskin may be hanging about in a few of these) but these are just shots of the new four.
White Butterfly/White Scorpion cross:
Checkerboard Pigeon:
Golden Crystal:
Snow White:
Together:
Please excuse my tank... it has a LOT of growing in to do before it's presentable!
I'm also sorry for the spam, but they were being awfully photogenic.
About five days after receiving them they starting showing spawning behavior. Before this I thought (based on behavior) that the two solid ones were likely males and the two patterned ones were females. Now after seeing breeding tubes I think it's the other way around, though if so the checkerboard and the cross get on awfully well for males. They were both courting the snow white and yet never picked on one another, though I'm wondering if it's because they're still young.
At any rate she wouldn't pick between them and was harassing the yellow one, which caused the other two to harass the yellow to please her, which caused it to skulk around and not eat much, so Miss Trouble-making Snow White has been moved to another tank for a bit to cool her caudal.
These new guys are already proving to be an exciting bunch.
