COMMENTS

Overall great. However i think it is too bright compared to the natural discus habitat. The background picture is also irrelevant i think. I would go for a darker background, denser vegetation and some large pieces of driftwood to give the water a brownish coloration. Otherwise, your fish seem in excellent condition. You obviously know what you are doing! fish avatar
Thank you very much morris and qphamdo! Yes, they are awesome fish, I love them! No special feeding. I change water very often and I think that helps a lot to the colors to be wonderful. Maybe the color of the background doing its relation to discus too. The sand is a very fine sand I've purchased in a common petshop store. Good luck with your Discus! fish avatar
Your Discus look AMAZING!!! Wonderfull colours!!. Any special feeding? Started with Discus, myself about 3 months ago, they are awesome fish. Trouble is, its very hard getting hold of decent A-Grade Disus here. Take care. fish avatar
