These discus paired up in my community tank, so about 5 weeks or so ago I moved them out into a breeding tank.

they are some nice discus. congratulations on breeding them. are they difficult. they are good photos to and that is the first time i have seen discus fry and they look nothing at all like a had pictured them to look like they look like normal looking fish. great work. thanks.
very nice pics taraj!!! so clear, i must admit those fry are nothing like i thought they would look like, i pictured them to be round the whole time, but they start out just like normal little fish
They are starting to get rounded now, they are 3 weeks old today. I will take some more pics for you to see as they are looking like discus now :lol:
great :) when do they start to get some colour about them?
They do have some colour mainly orange and black, but I dont think they will stay these colours. I am told that peppering will show when they are the size of a 20c coin, so just have to wait and see.
Going from the fish I have now, when I first got them there colours took a while to develop from duller colour to a more defined pattern and bright pretty colours.
These are my first lot of babies so basically I dont have a clue. :lol:
ok kool, well keep us posted on how they grow and colour up
Very Nice, how long are safe with the parents?
Congradulations Taraj.
Congrats & some very nice pics too.
Frenchy :D
Some update pics of my babies, they are now 36 days old.
