My New Stendker Discus Have Arrived!

Well, the first was the morning 1, the second when I was pythoning everyone else's tank. I needed to remove the "big bits" from the bloodworm plus. Too big for the babies & i'm still on new mom paranoia mode. Nothing too scary.
 
I know what you mean about the paranoia! I look at them and think.....aren't they breathing too fast? Why are they just staying there? Has a heater broke? What is the temp? and on and on!
 
Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how much is enough food & now they're attacking, or maybe just cleaning the heater? So cute if I don't overthink stuff, no wonder I have a glass of wine while watching...
 
Well I think I am going to change the background on the tank. It has a planted aquascape background attached right now. I am noticing that as the discus swim in different areas of the tank they are duller with just the background behind them and brighter when in front of a plant. I am going the easy cheapy route - self stick shelf paper. I just have to find a nice blue or aqua color. The back side of the paper is solid regardless of what design is on the front. So I will just peel and stick it to the back of the tank.

They all seem to be doing well. Will get some updated shots of them tomorrow.
