Discus_Duck Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hi all, Am new to the forum and saying a quick hi. I am as the title suggests a bit of a discus tragic and have a well established planted tank with 4 discus and some happy little community fish. All 4 discus are about 15cm. I have a leopard snakeskin, a blue heckle, a Marlboro gold and a red leopard. I'm also about to introduce my last 2 discus I've had on order but am worried at about 6-8cm we may have some aggression issues with the big fish. Any thoughts on this would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pk333 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'd love to see photos of the Blue heckel. Where have you ordered your new Discus from? Just curious as I like to find out about suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discus_Duck Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Thx bluebelle, so far, so good.... They're pale but seem happy and settled already Edited January 24, 2015 by Discus_Duck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebelle Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 If there should be any trouble - just switch off the lights for a day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discus_Duck Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 All three newbies have found a spot in the tank and are looking relaxed and happy this morning. It's strange, I've never had discus settle in so quickly and so well. They're pretty social little guys too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfishy84 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Welcome to the forum, your discus look to have plenty of character....stunning too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discus_Duck Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks Dan. Discus are brilliant fun, I love that mine all have their own personality. The little newbies are completely settled in now and do the odd bit of pushing around the bigger fish. It's pretty damn funny to watch lol.
