discus dude

Hey Cat! Sounds like he had A real chip on his shoulder[or head!!]. Do you still have discus?

hey Carly! No worries, had one of those "Weeks". Maybe next time your there!

Sounds good Caryl, look forward to hearing from you..

Back again!!! I don't know if many of you are familliar with Fred Goodall at DPH, But this guy is A wealth of info, and has helped me SOOOO!! much, He's brilliant at solving problems with Discus via email, and I deffinitly wouldn't be as far ahead in breeding these awsome fish if it wasn't for him!! So I've posted his comments... Hi Andrew: Not to that extent... always thought it was "fish language" for "hey good looking.... want a good time?????" \ as my thought was that hand sort of triggered mating response in males... but could well be "happy fish" vibes. With Regards Fred Goodall

Hey folks! Goldie! Carly is rite, They do shimmer, when courting, and at first I thought the same thing. But he's not when I have my hand in with him, Although, he could be giving off these pulses when shrimming. Both the f/m and m, shimmer when courting and there both tame [ie] but it's only the male that pulses, not saying the female dosn't, it's just she's not done it to me! Caryl, I don't wear glasses, why do you ask? Regards Andrew

Hey Caryl! No offence taken, But this is really happin! Just after I posted the last message I went down and did my w/c's. And again he was doing it! It definitaly vearies in duration and strength, but it IS pulsing of some sort!! I'm going to email Fred Goodall at DPH, So I'll let you know what he has to say!

Hi Goldie, I have had that comment already, lol. But there maybe some truth in that because I got my wife and son to put there hands in the tank today and they felt nothing, when I put my hand back in , he went nuts with virbractions. I have also had another comment saying it could be A form of sonar, although I have put A staethascope? on the tank and there was no sound, unlike dolphns which make quite loud noise when using theres. So yes quite exciting alright! I keep researching and if I find anything of intrest I'll post it!!! Regards Andrew

Hi All, I have A 3year old Solid green breeding male discus with A partner in A breeding tank. He is very tame, to the point where I "could" lift him out of the tank by hand. Something I've noticed is when I put my hand in the tank, close to him, he gives off A virbration [like A high speed pulse]. I can feel it up to an inch away from his body even though I can't see any phyical signs of him doing it. Has anybody experinced this? Very interesting, maybe A form of communication???
