Love'em all. By the way, never saw a black discus. :lol: I wonder why not ... I guess pretty hard to tell when a black discus goes dark.

Great looking fish mate. Any idea on what you paid and where you bought them from?

bought them locally from someone who is down sizing to just 1 tank. She originally bought them from Kenny's Discus in San Francisco..........I got a good deal. I got all three for what 1 should cost. (the seller wanted them to have a good home).

This is just a 75 gallon............I'm looking into maybe going to a 90 or 120 but I don't know if my house, or wife will support it?? :lol:

Magnificent fish, and a real credit to their previous owner.

This is exactly the way well grown, mature discus should look.

:P

She did an excellent job of growing them up. She raised them from little 2.5 inch guys.

They looked so big in my 72 gallon tank that I had to go a double the room they had......(almost). Here's the new 125 gallon I picked up last week.

and here they are on a first lap around the new larger pool!
