Indian Tigers??

I could've sworn they were discus :ug
and nice ones too.

Lovely, lovely fish.

Well grown, great shape and good small eye.

An excellent choice. :P

[Scat]

Thanks guys :D

Im happy that expeirenced discus keepers like yourselves reckon that these are nice fish also rather than just guessing myself still :D

I also got some alenquer reds and some albino`s yesterday ( juvies @ 6cm ) and have them in a bb tank to grow out, will get some pics today as i have a few more questions :D

Thanks again :D

Thats it for now as ive had 2 blue turks pair off and spawn once in the community and have a seperate tank ready for them.

I'm impressed Craig!
They are about the best looking discus you can buy at any aquarium shop in Perth!

Hope the source continues - I don't have room for anymore; but one day...

[Scat]

Thanks :D

I believe there is some more coming soon so will be making more tank space available :D

Cheers

Gorgeous discus. They look great.

It looks like the albinos do have a red eye to me. Its not a stark red but you can see the colour in the pictures above.

[Hollowman]

Scat, lovely fish, all of them. You seem to be worried that your albinos don't have pink pupils, you will find that albinos also can also have a dark 'plum' coloured pupil too, and from what I can see, that is what you have. Very nice!

:D

[Scat]

Thanks H :D

Wasnt sure as i was told that the pink eye should have been obvious !

Am very excited tonight as it seems the 2 Indians have paired up, ive been watching them court tonight and cleaning a spawning cone together :D :D
They havent even been in my tank for a week yet !!!

Cheers
