New Pigeon Blood Discus

[Mattzilla]

Hi All,

Picked up a group of 7 beautiful pigeon blood discus from the boys at Aquaristic. They had some stunning discus but i have a soft spot for pigeon bloods so couldn't go past them. Good variety but a common theme.

Here they are, your comments are always welcomed

Can you post a full tank shot?
Love to see how they look cheers

[Mattzilla]

will do a short video as soon as i get some spare time

[Mattzilla]

here is a short (and poor quality) video i took tonight of a full tank shot. It's a work in progress but at least it's stocked with what i wanted.

It's stocked with:
7 Discus
6 Torpedo Barbs
5 Male Bousami Rainbows
4 Sterbai Cories
4 True SAE's
3 Male Congo Tetras

here is the video link (best watched in HD i guess)

Very good idea to get all the same discus - it looks much better.

Love the discus look great. Also I was in a shop the other week and they used to have a display of discus with some torpedo barbs in with them. I was going to get some torpedo barbs but they told me not to as the Barbs had started hammering their discus and they had to pull them all out so they didn't get killed.

Hopefully a one off but thought I'd give you a heads up in case.
