and that is what discus looks like when i was young!!! i remember watching them for hours at my uncle's place!!!

[the_oracle]

Those are AWESOME.....................


Sanie.

[Morpho]

Thanks all.
I think, wild discus are particularly ideal for planted aquaria, because they provide an esthetically pleasing contrast to green plants.

[JamezMan]

Very nice fish morpho. Nice setup too.

[taksan]

Marvelous fish ! Stunning wilds and a nice large tank.

[samir]

The RSG's look nice, we dont get that quality her. Do share your experiences with the heckels if you get the time.

I have Tefe green discus breeding pair but they not are good parents and I must help fish babies and I make hand-made mother (machine).
It automatically give food for little fish babies.


Tefe RSG female watch babies

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x229/Dynastes/083b.jpg



Hand-made mother : I make every 4 hours 100% water change and I put new food in acrylic bowl black bar.
Black color make best contrast and fish babies found food easily.
This black bar is outside bowl and it is ordinary electrical tape.
This hand-made mother give food for babies very slowly.
I used 5mm pipes what dropped water blob inside bowl and high-water give all the time more food for fish babies.
When 4 hour is gone and water level is over black food bar I clean bowl and put new fresh water and food.
Easily but very hard work every day and night all 24 hours...

Now I have 70 pieces Tefe RSG babies ( 2,5 month old )

All little fish have beatiful bright red eys and metallic green shining all in body.
But young wild Tefe discus fishes show all full colors after 12 month ages or later.
