Discus Photo Competition 2008

[Fat Discus]

ENTRY #6

My Wild Caught Breeding Pr of Red Spotted Green Discus. My pide and joy. Iv had them for nearly a year now, and currently they reside in a 2x18x18 bare bottom tank. I will move them shorty back to a larger tank with plants and drift wood. Thats what they where in when they spawned the first time. I just though since they where a confirmed breeing pr, that they would breed anywhere. unfortunately Iv had no luck since moving them. I think they feel a bit more secure with the whole amozon setup. ( Well they are wilds lol

Unfortunately I dont have any photos of the pr spawning or with there fry on this computer I am on atm. If the moderators allow me too I will post furthr pictures of them with there fry.

I feed them on a diet of beef heart, high protien crumble, frozen blood worms and brine shrimp. 1/3 water change every 3 days without fail.

In the first photo you can see the exstent of ocean green the male has on his body. The female is the fish in the back ground. She has alot more red spots on her body. The photo was taken when the tank was raw.

In the second and third photo, the pr are seen with minimal stress bars. The yellowy water is due to Peat Moss exstract. A hatch rate of fry is higher with my fish when I add PE. Wilds seem to like it a bit more too

ENTRY #8

My biggest girl in the tank. She the most placid discus ive ever had, she runs the tank but never has to get in a fight. she's about 3years old and by far my favourite.
