Discus vs Trophs/Petros

[cichlid1409]

another thing that gets me about discus besides being sissies is there is only a few pure variants and then people crossbreeds to get all the colors.just about any fish out there could be made into a perrty fish by doing this.just like buying malawi cichlids from walmart,never know what your going to get!!!!

inbred SOB's

Looked like you're "fighting males" were just kissing intimately. Kin to Nick maybe..... :) Like I said, Sissy fish.

When did this thread turn to which fish can fight or not.
Its a thread to determine which is king.
Trops/petros maybe able to out fight discus, but discus will out smart trophs/petros.

Why would king fight when he can just sit back & watch all the idots fight among them selves?

[peterp63]

Man, turn your back and this thread really grows.

All the pictures I posted are of different discus I have owned or currently own. (I've kept discus for more than 15 years, but of course I didn't have a digital camera that long ago - so pictures are probably from the past 7 years). All pictures were taken by me. I've had a lot of different types of discus.

I have more pics, but I got tired of posting. If Dan (formerly of HAW) ever decided to add to this thread, discus would win, but just in number of pictures/variants. There are more petro/troph lovers in fishkeeping. Discus always have been a remarkable fish, but certainly are not for the beginning or casual fishkeeper.

Not trying to knock Dan or anything cause that dude knows fish like crazy, but he tried to sell tropheus at one time and most of them died on him. He was practically willing to give them away when there were just a few left. Face it, discus are sissy fish for sissy people. They are elegant and colorful, but that's where it stops. Sissy fish y'all. Seriously.

Darbex, you need to post better vids. Looked like you're "fighting males" were just kissing intimately. Kin to Nick maybe..... :) Like I said, Sissy fish.
