Vervo Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 We are feeding the spectrum "Grow" because it has huge amounts of protein and vitamins in it It does have "natural" colour enhances, i think its a bit different to the colour bits We feed them 6 times a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishplants Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Nice fish Vervo. Will be very interesting to see colour of the juvies at an older age. Quite clearly they aren't going to be Cobalt Blues! What age/size are the juvies now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vervo Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Some look like they will be blue colbalt, but alot of them are very different in colour! Largest one is about 2 inches nose to tail base. They are about 4 months old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vervo Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 wow thats really strange??? :-? Maybe our orange discus jumped into the breeding tank from across the room and "stole the moment". LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfishybuisness Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Maybe our orange discus jumped into the breeding tank from across the room and "stole the moment". LOL i was about to say that, maybe another discus got in on it :love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vervo Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 i was about to say that, maybe another discus got in on it :love: Defiantly not possible, completely separate tanks on other side of the room I think these babies might go more blue as they get older. However looks like there's snakeskin, tirq, cobalt, maybe even one white discus! Funky genes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flosty Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Chuck 2 blue fish in a tank and one would expect blue fry But not the case in discus land You should hang onto the best solid blue and breed back to one of the parents Females will mature first Best of luck with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
