Just a couple quick picks of my new red turquoise....hopefully they dont kill each other before I get three more. Both are from Discus Hans thru my LFS.

The cobalt ive had for 1 month and the red turquoise for about an hour!!
Im looking to get three more 3" before these two get any bigger.
Im trying for 2 turquoise, 2 blue, and a yellow or red of some sort. so I need to get:

Brilliant Turquoise
Blue Diamond

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] Golden Checkerboard Pigeon[/FONT] (sunrise)
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Albino Mosaic[/FONT] (another one of sunrise's fish)
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Golden Leopard[/FONT] (saw this one at sunrisetropicals.com , anyone dealt with them before... they have some unique color variations)
....my favorite being this one which im not sure they even have normally, maybe a unique fish?

They look nice! You're going to raise them in a planted? Good luck with that!
 
Why would raising them in a planted tank be an issue?
Im assuming your thinking of the water changes?
 
Anyone have any info on the questions I asked after my pics? Mostly wondering about the sunrise place and their fish!!
thanks
 
Why would raising them in a planted tank be an issue?

Because young discus need to be feed 5 or 6 time a day and are very intolerant of nitrates. Most people opt for BB tanks for this reason.

Be careful colors and strains have a lot of different names. Don't get fooled by the names.
