_wendy_   Enthusiast Posts: 174 Kudos: 164 Votes: 64 Registered: 18-Mar-2005   | we got our first discus today - 2 of them. Cost £30 each. we got them as a centrepiece for our 70g tank. They are beautiful. They certainly arent shy and have eaten already. They are blue and red with dark vertical stripes. One is slightly larger with fainter stripes, the other has alot darker stripes and is a little smaller. They are baby discus and about 3 inches in size. |

Bob Wesolowski  Mega Fish Posts: 1379 Kudos: 1462 Registered: 14-Oct-2004   | Lovely fish! The stripes are "mood" indicators on discus. Generally, if they become darker, the fish may be excited or upset. If they become lighter, then the fish is less stressed! __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright |
