Hi :)

Just thought id share a few pics of a pair on penang eruptions i picked up today, These guys are currently in a quarantine tank atm and will join the others in 2 weeks time !!

These were sold to me as a confirmed breeding pair by a good friend who runs a fish shop.

Male:

Female: ( the only half decent shot i could get of her )

Also i have bred a pair of my blue turks and have managed to raise 21 juvies for my first attempt, These guys are probably a bit small for their age (16 weeks) due to my inexperience, Have now bought two nitrate filters and added both of my growout tanks and will see how they go along with my water changes !

Please comment on these guys as i think they are great but im no expert !

Royal blue: not sure why this is called Royal blue rather than a turk ? Can someone educate me ?

Tefe green:

Gold discus: These were sold to me privately and all the guy new was that they were called gold discus, they have a white eye much like a snow white, can anyone help with a better id ?
