  • Updated discus pics

    My wild green discus that I got from Dan back in June are more comfy in their home and showing some beautiful color. They don't like the red focusing light on the camera though and barred up immediately. Oh well...they're eating like pigs and wag like puppies to be fed whenever I get near the tank. Not the best shots...
    A couple pics:








    This is Dowich, a wild blue I bought around 5 yrs ago. She was adult when I bought her so I have no idea of her age. She's been getting a little thin for the last 4 or 5 months, but eats well.


    This red turq is Bully. I got her as a 2" juvie from Prosper and Shannon 4 or 5 yrs ago, I think.

    What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

                    Thanks everyone.

                    Not sure about the spots, Walter. LOL They won't hold still long enough to let them be counted.
