My First Discus - New - Turquoise Pair

Finally took the plunge! These are my first discus. A pair of blue turqs.

They seem to have settled into quarantine well. Eating like pigs! Ive fed them about 6 different foods and they lapped every bit up.

Any comments would be great. I noticed some small white nodules, maybe 4-5 on one of them and posted in the emergency room thread. Not sure if im being paranoid or not. Honestly didn't look like a disease, possibly excess mucus but any thoughts would be great!.

Haven't measured them out of the water, but i'd say 13-15cm standard length.

Have to agree! They're an excellent quality pair. Great way to start out with Discus. You've got a good eye when it comes to fish selection :wink:
