Hi Guys, any ideas best place to get good coloured discuss on the island ?

Thanks

Cookie

Hi, I keep Discus, have you got any at the moment, I have Red Melon, Millenium Chrystal, Pidgeon Blood, and two Blues, One Silvery Blue the Other one a Darker Blue, all mature.

Am going to breed them in the next few weeks, lets hope I succeed, they have laid eggs, but eaten them. Because they are in the main tank, in process of setting up some breeding tanks (smaller) 40 ltrs.


Keep in touch.

hi Julia, thanks for the reply. I am trying to help my dad decide what to put in his tank, i know he's always liked discuss but never really seen them over here - apart from Jurby water gardens.

used to know a guy in portsmouth and he had a room of tanks with discus in, all breeding- lovely site.

thanks

Hi Cookie


Friend of mine has taken my Red Melon Discus to mate with one of his male discus, will let you know if you like f we have succeeded, but it will be at least two to three monhs before they are read.

I am now going to breed my two Blue ones beauties are they have eggs once, so going to separate and put in breeding tank just waiting for my tank for the babies, when they are ready to separate, about 4/5 weeks old.

Keep in touch let me know where you are going with the tank.

thanks Julia, I think he is keen on the discuss.

He's always had marines and likes the colours.

Would you be willing to sell some of the sucessfull breed?

Thanks also re the mags.

Thanks

Hi Cookie, Sorry didn't see your question regards the Discus Fry, yes, I will be selling some of the Fry (when they appear), I am just awaiting the electrician to put a couple of extra points in my garage at the moment, but the Red Melon Fry will hopefully appear soon.

Regards,

Julia
