My girlfriend got me an early x-mas present...
- Thread starter gatotsu77
- Start date
Otto's I can see being a problem, as they are more "suckermouth cats" than the SAE's are, but I am slightly concerned with the SAE's chasing my discus. I don't necessarily HAVE to have something that eats algae, but I like most of them. I do have occasional formations of algae on my anubias, and I'd like something that will help keep them algae free for me without having to do chlorine dips. I saw a clown pleco at the store and practically fell in love with the little guy.. what do you think about them?
ahahaha... I just realized I'm still logged in as my girlfriend.
(we're sharing my laptop at the moment, since my desktop is in the other room) I know the poster on this one says Tall Doll, but it was actually Gatotsu77. (I'll just use my name from here on out, I'm Andrew)

Just to show its really me, now I'm back on my account.
She'll get a laugh out of this when she sees it. :silly:
Thank you babe for the beautiful discus. :-D
Italian for plate? I actually kinda like it :silly:
gorgeous discus...with some excellent care that will be one stunning fish!
I'm looking forward to seeing his true colors shine.
I'll get pics of the 2 new discus up in the next couple hours! :grinyes:
$40 is cheap? >_< hahaha... I didn't actually buy my discus from chen's... though the guy I did buy them from is named Chin. :silly: I linked those earlier to give an idea of what I was going to get. Here's an actual shot of the 3 discus now.
The image quality isn't great... 180mm focal length at 1/25th of a second... that was one of 5 shots I took from that position and the only one which came close to turning out clearly. The other 4 were worse than this one... though that shot is pretty crummy as is. I'll be posting more pics in the next half hour.
Oh, and the red one does have a tail... he's just turned at a funny angle from where I was standing. I was at about a 45 degree angle from the front of my tank. (at my bedroom door)

Ok, as promised, I have 3 more pictures of the discus.
The blue guy is darn near impossible to catch while he's holding still.... he's almost always moving, and with that lens I was working with a shallow depth of field. I think it kinda shows off his colors, but certainly is not my best work. I'll hopefully get some better pictures of him up here soon, but at least you guys can see what I'm working with now.

Sorry for being annoying about this particular topic, but are snails bad for a discus tank? There is a single 1/2" ramshorn snail and about 4 baby ramshorns on the plants I bought, but I have not put them in the tank yet. Will the snails potentially harm my discus?
