Kenny![]() ![]() ![]() Enthusiast Posts: 252 Votes: 0 Registered: 29-Mar-2003 ![]() ![]() | Got to agree with Trace-Russ with the stripes being a good primary indicator of stress. Discus use the stripes as signals as well though, my red turk pair for instance, the female shows the last three stripes when she is ready to lay eggs, as soon as I see those I know she'll place eggs within 12hrs. With the younger discus showing the stripes more, I think its maybe something to do with camouflage, blending into roots etc? With the wild strains, gotta agree that they are nice, breeder in my area had some Tefe's delivered last month, all I could do to stop myself drooling.

Wild discus have the stripes all the time and attempts have been made (successfully) to breed the stripes out and obtain a solid colored fish. Personally, I like the stripes as they add character to the fish. |

They show 'em when they cruise around, and when something scary happens, when my sis smack the door ect. They take the stripes away! ![]() ![]() EDIT: My angelfish did that aswell!

Younger discus tend to show the bars a lot more than older Discus. Why I dont know maybe someone can tell us??? Trace ![]() ![]() |
