Getting 2 snakeskins!

That's the bad thing about working at a fish store I saw 2 little snake-skins and fell in love with them! I threw together a 40g breeder for them to be in till they get a clean bill of health! I will post pics after I go get them!
Looks like my 120g tall will end up being converted to a discus tank

Nice Fern!

Can't wait to see some pics!!

I love snakeskins.

Cost about $100 for both of them though
But they look good and are not shy and those are my main 2 requirements for discus I'm not very picky yet

Once I get them in the tank and settled down I will post some pics. They are drip acclimating in a 5g bucket right now and they probably will be for the duration of 'the rocky horror picture show' The tank they are going into is 7.5PH and the tank they came from was 6 so I have it on a sloooow drip!
Looks like their 'base discus' is the one with lots of stress bars.

Well they are in the tank but the light in there sucks so pics will have to wait till tomorrow.......

Ok the one that has more of the snakeskin patter is being a royal butt! He is really harassing the other guy whose spots aren't as good. Theirs one more at my lfs and I can probably swap one out if I need to and I think I may need to. so who do I trade back? The prettier pain in the butt or the less pretty nice one?

Nice Nice

Here are some pics, they still are not settled in fully but are eating like pigs so that's good!

Once their color comes back better I will get more pics. They are mostly blue with some red.

nice buy fern..good luck i always liked discus

I had never thought I would like them but I love them now that I have them!!!!

wow. very nice.

They should have their full color back pretty soon, they are already over the shyness!

Nice post some pics when you can!...

they look good fern

So I picked good!

they look gorgeous fern, i want some more!!!! lol i just cant afford it right now, i have 7 dollars for gas lol hope that will last for another whole week, lol.

They are doing well, they have nearly finished off the big clump of like black worms I put in the tank for them to snack on!

$7 for gas lat a whole week? lol what car do you have?, i wish i can do that with mine..

i have a truck and i know it wont last not even 3 days lol

So I'm guessing I QT these guys the standard 2 weeks?

Yes they are awesome!!!

So far so good!
They aren't very fond of pellets though...... I am probably going to have to get more live black worms for them

I'm going to treat them with general cure per advice from my boss at the lfs.
They are doing quite well except that Cuddles keeps getting beat on by the other one

The bigger one has a dent in his face, I'm guessing its a genetic defect so I wont breed him when hes older.
Anywhooo I got some new pics! Sorry about the quality, they are hard to get pics of!So heres the best I have.
