Discus vs Trophs/Petros

[Zulaab]

Btw ... not to say anything special. This evening I watched my Dub Maswa getting it on and I saw eggs being laid and picked up. So maybe 30 days from now. I will have some dub babies in the tank. I am thinking my Petricola's are in the near future going to have a moving party.

IDK if anyone mentioned this, but the way troph spawn is way cooler than discus too.

The infamous and classic T-position!

And the occational 3 way.

[myjohnson]

So. Do Troph owners sell their F2s as bait or throw them out like garbage? No one even mentions trophs past F1. I know Discus owner continue their fish for many generations.

F2s and greater get sold off as TR or PR most the time.

came through in the clutch!

[cichlid1409]

anything past F1 might as well be tank raised IMO so no point in adding an F# then.

I'm take it back old school on these buys.

arn't all the discus variants man made while all the troph variants are found naturally?

That makes no never mind to me!



















Hybrid trophs?
Don't hit me, myjohnson!

[myjohnson]

There are WC discus. There are also hybrids. Hybrids are more acceptable in the Discus world.

There are WC tropheus as well as hybrids.....but in the tropheus world hybirds are not generally accepted.
