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

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

[Taraj]

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:

[nick]

great :) when do they start to get some colour about them?

[Taraj]

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:

[nick]

ok kool, well keep us posted on how they grow and colour up
