Very nice Proteus. I have a pair too, and ppl often ask why we got a pair of 'plain' white looking discus... but when they see them in the flesh they change their minds! ;)

[nicholas76]

very underestimated colour I say


good score , hope they spawn for you one day!


:D

[sunshinediscus]

I like whites as well, great contrast with other discus.

[parasite]

[BlackGhost]

[Mattzilla]

[Proteus]

[Essayons89]

Bryan

[Proteus]

ummm, I will tell ya once I get back from your side of the pond to my normal side of the pond...

:wink:

[discussushi]

Very good swans, well done.

[heckelboy]

Do you keep your fish in your garage?

[Proteus]

No way.... securely locked up and inside....

pics were taken at an LFS facing the main entry (commercial type warehouse building)

[Scribble]

I was sooooooo going to buy those!!

They are magnificient.
Please tell me you still have them.
I know some discus on hold there met an ill fate, please tell me yours were ok?


Hi by the way! newbie here.. :P

[Proteus]

Lets just say the supplier added another few to the same tank (origin - same tank, previous tank mates). Within 2 Days, all fish were gone.

:(

That was whilst I was in the U.S.

Apparently the water was fine, and after a complete tank tear down all fish in there are fine.

Whilst QT is a normal practice there, would you think getting fish from the same supplier, that were previously together in the same tanks would have been a problem... not really, but something went horribly wrong.

I so want a White Swan pair again... (in my own tanks)

[DiscusMan]

Pro that is no good mate.

I assume you want a pair that big again :)

I was going to add that they are/where some very nice looking fish.

Hope you can find more soon

Wayne

[Proteus]

I think any sized pair would be great...

I will keep looking

[Scribble]

Mate, so sad to hear it.
They were beautiful.
I was hoping you had picked them up before that happened, but when you had said they were spawning i was fairly sure they must have been wiped out with the rest in that tank, because i remember there was a spawning pair that died with the rest.

If it helps, out of the next batch that they got in, i brought a little solid blue and two largish red turqs and both have been perfectly healthy, happy speciemens for at least a month now.

Wayne and Rebecca at Xtreme are great people and look after their customers. Russell is good to chat to about discus too!!

[Proteus]

Update...

I have a new White Swan pair.

*w00t*

For the time being they are in my main display tank, however down the track I will put them in there own tank for breeding purposes.

Within 16hrs of being placed in the tank they are already spawning.

[DR.V]

Within 16hrs of being placed in the tank they are already spawning ???????

Nice fish !!

[Proteus]

Laying eggs and fertilising them...

:wink:

[mcloughlin2]

Congratulations!!!

I was going to get them today....but wen i called SLS yesterday to check they still had them they z that someone was coming to look at them so i just thought i would let nature take its course and if they were still for sale today i would have got them...intead i got some other great discus!! :D

[Darth_discus]

magnificent discus pro might i say

[Proteus]

Thanks...

[Merrilyn]

So glad you got some more white swans Proteus.

And they look wonderful.

Congratulations :P

[Davo]

Proteus,

They look great. I seriously thought about buying them yestarday but the other half (she who will be obeyed) did not like the look of them. She wants Albino's or Yellow's and I stupidly promised her that she could pick the next discus.

Keep the pics coming and thanks again for the crushed coral.

Dave.

[discus000]

damn.... Those are nice discus fish Proteus!!!!!!!

I'm thinking of getting a pair.

Where were they from?

[Benny]

SLS...

where-else? :P:P:P:P:P:P

[Ben]

They are good clean fish there Proteus! :D

I would have snapped them up quickly too! :P


Keep us posted mate, :)

Cheers,
Ben 8-)
