Discus community tank

This is my fish tank, with three discus and a few other friendly community fish. I've had them for about 6 months now, and they have been very shy. Just a few weeks ago, they began to grow, and their shyness disappeared. they are now very friendly and interested in whats going on outside the tank. My patience paid off!!
Can anyone identify the leopard skinned one? I've been searching the net and haven't seen that color combination before.

great gravel, white sand it is ?? does it ever rot or build gas buckets ??

[amerboy22]

thanx!!! yes its white sand. ive been using it for 2 years now and never had any problems with it. there is a great clean up crew in there always sifting through the sand picking up all the left over food and algae. loads of corys and oddball loaches

hey guys, thanx for the comments.. this is my old tank, i got a 75 gal tank 5 months ago, with 8 discus and the two blue ones in this video are laying eggs like mad!! the blue one is huge as well. i will post a new vid soon

Cool discus, i have a 110 gal i will add about 4-6 discus when it is fully cycled, i would love a couple of german rams, how are they with the discus?

Cheers

[amerboy22]

Rams are great with discus. they are part of the clean up crew. Discus are very messy when they eat, i have a couple rams, and corys. they clean up all the left over food under plants and behnd the rocks.

nice dicus man:)

[fischen80]

no dudes it´s a blue diamond and a common blue turquise!!

[kareemhalfawi]

THey're both cobalts...

Breeders tend to give everything a fancy name to jack up their prices.

Absolutely gorgeous stock though

[Pellegrino80]

The Discus that looks like a leopard skinned I think it's called a reflection blue, it looks kind of like mine. It could also be a Brilliant Blue or a Blue Turquoise Discus, kind of hard to tell between the two sometimes. Yours look more like a reflection blue because of the long strips he has, and doesn't have the point on the top near his tail. If he does then It's probably a Brilliant Blue.

hey mangreat discus, neon blue is the way to go

how bigare these discus right now that they are breeding, and how long have u had them

are u keeping them in a bare bottom or are they just breeding in a regular tank set up

just got my 75 gall 7 days ago

8 in a 75 gal

isnt that a little to many?

isnt they rule like 1 discus per 10 gals

[jackassathalo]

Neon Blue and Snakeskin

[jimmysherriff]

Ok thanx for the advice!

[jdesepeda]

basicaly the bigger the better!! try to get a long tank and yea i think a 4feet tank is good. remeber 10g for ever discus! try to keep 6 or more! i have 5 in my 45g. and im tryin to upgrade soon. i need 1 more discus in my tank!

[jimmysherriff]

Ok thanx...also, Discus fish grow quite big so would a four foot long tank be big enough?

[jdesepeda]

they do but angel fish might bring sum problems with your discus health. like parasites, deases and stuff.. but they do get along well!
