my new wild caught discus

theres 6 total of them 2 are rio purus blue discus
4 are the rio nanay green discus

WOW, i have to clean my keyboard from drooling.

i likeyyyy. are they from snookin21?

yes theyr from snookn21 lol they look soo good in person tho man that 202 bux was worth it

Very very nice pilli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had John aka snook ship me one wild green. He sent it in a very small box only 2 bags no heat pack. Well the fish dorsel Ray made a hole the fish was in just enough water to keep it wet. He did not eat for 2 weeks never did recover from that cross country trip. I was just very unlucky. He said I could have credit but I'm not doing that again. Glad to see you got yours ok.

You my friend are discus crazy? How many discus tanks are you going to have running?

---

wow they look awesome! congratz!!

thanks, the bags were wet, they wer leaking but they all survived with very little water and no damage, theyr eating very well gave them live brine last nite to help kick start they hunger and theyr being piglets now eating bloodworms. if they dont eat it all my balloon molly would be very happy to clean up the rest. the dicus wer so scarred of my balloon molly that they wer jumping all over eachother in a corner lik hes a monster. it was funny.

my 100 is going to be my discus world with my community but if i need more tanks well i guess ill be puttin some in a 29 gallon or so watever i can come across lol

Nice keep us post it!!

ya theyr more lively today but still shy, so as soon as i can get them to not be so shy ill take more pics

Very Very nice!!!
What size tank are they in?

in my 20 long for qting once their qted then ill move them in my 55 but that will be until my 100 gallong is for sure ready for them.

Very nice!! They'll look really great in a couple of days when they settle in a tad more

Oh ok.So I need to get a 75g or bigger than?

yep theyr getting better more and more yes 75 would be good for 6 discus but would go bigger lik fern got a 90 gallon for 6 or 8 would eb good more the marrier

Than I guess I will shoot for a 100g than!Can Discus go with Angelfish?

yes discus and angel hav been together i dont know personally but that wat i heard and read.

I want to do a Discus and Angelfish tank!

lol kool i would but some ppl say that angels will eat my community.

What kind of community fish you have?

tetras mollys swordtails, clown knife fish, black ghost knife fish, african knife fish, fire eel, zigzag eel, a blue ram, centipede knife fish, kuhli's, cory, discus, female bettas, oodles of plecos, dojo loach, i think thats it lol

People have done discus and angles, but I don't see the point of mixing $15 fish with $150 fish.......If you do discus make them the main tank occupants, everything else is just fillers.

I have Angels with all those fish before and they never ate any of them!I've even had Neon Tetra's with Angels and they never ate them either.I've even had Angels with all kind of Cichlids too and never had a problem!

lol then my community r fillers lmao plenty of fillers.

hm okay well ill see if i hav any room for the fish, lol but i doubt with all those little truds well they poop alot of turds lmao i clean costantly in that tank bc they poop so much
