Finally....
Pics of the fish are slightly blurred as I didn't want to use the
flash on them just yet. They are healthy and eating real good.
I couldn't get all 8 at once to 'pose' for the same pic...

Are those Albino's?

Great Pics, I find that if I use little zoom on my Canon A40 Powershot, I dont get any blur at all. Then I just crop and enhance the pic on my computer.

The fish are young and the colors haven't "set-in" yet.
I went for more of the solid colors of Discus. I didn't want
to get the striated or striped fish...I just like the looks of
different color solids. There are 2 white ones - Snowflakes...

THaNKs!

They are approx. 1 1/2 to almost 3 inches.

The pricing was right ... $20 to $30 ea.

They are readily eating bloodworms (frozen type), and a few
have just now ate Tetra Color Bits, which is a good thing. They will need variety... I kept the lights off the first day, then just the
back light was turned on. Today, both Custom SeaLife reflectors
are on and they did not shy from full light. There's enough plants
for them to hide if needed. So far, no hiding! Their colors
should increase, but look great now....

I'm using SeaChem's Onyx Sand. I also have AP Root Tabs under most of the plants. Flourish is also added for the plants.
