Thanks very much DiscusEden I am very excited! I bought an RO unit just for them for the quarantine tank, and now I can work on the show tank, and get those nitrates down, while these guys settle in, but they ate bloodworms for me last night, and this morning, so Im very happy so far!!
Im not exactly sure what strains they are, and I figured I would get asked that question! haha....I ordered them online, and the green one was called Ocean Green, and the big red and yellow one was called Yellow Red Ribbon, and the last one, which isnt very colored yet, was called Super Red Scorpion....the place I ordered from had soooo many different kinds, it was so hard for me to decide on 3! I can post the link to the site, if someone tells me how? It seems like from reading other threads, that sometimes the link get removed?
Thanks for the reminder about the summary, I will def. get on that today
Thanks again, I will get more pics of them up here today also....Im just hoping for the best right now...I have read they are touchy, and I was very careful getting them acclimated yesterday, and the water parameters are very good in that tank!

Hahaha!! Thanks a lot ILLUSN! You must have been replying to things as I was posting more pics! lol! Im very happy with all of them, I really had a tough time being able to decide on only 3 of them! The ocean green is def. the smallest one right now, and you cant have him! lol
But thank you very much for the compliment! I cant wait to get them big and colorful, and into the main tank, with the plants and other fishies
They came from MACs discus, if your not familiar with the site, just type that into google, and im sure you can find the site....they have tons!

I'm after the Yellow Red Ribbon myself. You're so lucky we couldn't get them through customs! We'd have the whole tank divided up in no time!
Lovely babies, you've done very well.
Are you planning to get more?

The Yellow Red Ribbon is my fav right now, but its prolly cause he is the biggest, and most colorful right now, that scorpion should be very pretty too!! So it could be a toss up later on down the road.
Thanks for the compliments, Im very excited!!
I dont really plan on getting anymore anytime soon, once they finally get into the main tank, that tank will be rather overstocked, and since its my first time with discus, and plants, I hope 3 will be enough
Any suggestions on how long they should hang in the quarantine tank?
Thanks again
