Hey All,

Thought I would post some pics of my new little Albinos I got from Merrilyn recently. There only small little guys about 2inch SL, great fish ... always on the move and begging for food. Sorry for the crappy pics, but I had to use the flash because the tank lights where off :roll: these pics make them look a little darker in colour than they really are :?

A BIG thanks to Merrilyn for these guys :D :D :D :thumb

Cheers,

Dee :)

Cheers,

Dee :)

Hi Ronny,

Thanks for the comments :D Discus in that pic L to R as follows ---

1.Golden Mosaic
2.Red Turq
3.Red Turq
4.Mosaic Leopard
5.Red Turq
6.Web Leopard Snake Skin

All those guys still have a fair amount of size and colour to develop, I think they around 9-10 months old. HTH

Hey All,

Thanks for the comments :D

Ronny, yeah I ended up ordering - 3x Golden Mosaics 1x Mosaic Leopard and 2 more Red Turqs :wink:

Blackwater, from my understanding web leopard snake skin means the "web" like pattern of the markings. I have read in the past that they are not actually spotted, but the striations are so fine they appear as dots ... dont hold me to that though :roll: My understanding is they are from the same brood as the mosaic leopards, but they express the snake skin gene ... once again I could be very wrong ... HTH :oops:

Ben, yep they are the little guys you saw that time you came over. I have had them for 6 months now and they have definatly grown :wink: Lotsa WC's and TLC hehe :D

GP, yeah they are the guys I got from Rod Lewis ... great qaulity fish, thanks for your comments !

Kinezo, how's it going mate ? yeah Im very happy with the Albino's top little fish ... always bickering over food :roll: :lol:


Cheers,

Dee :)

Dee, those little guys look super cute. I love to see the fat tummies on them. They are obviously very happy in your care.

The rest of your fish are gorgeous. You have some lovely specimens there.

Congratulaltions Dee.

Is Rod Lewis still breeding discus? His website is down and I have not seen any posts from him for a while.
