Re: Discus I have known....
I'm just astounded by how good all your discus look, even throughout all the years of you keeping them. Just goes to show how the simple things like good husbandry, water changes, etc can go a long way to making great fish.
One day, I hope to be able to get to experience owning a bunch of them for many years, just like you have Al. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Mark. They are just snapshots of the various discus I have owned, bred, etc. Its kind of fun to look back on old photos like this of the various fish we keep. There is a down side to it though. I really want to see some of these swimming in my tanks again now!

Jim thank you! As for Heckels, they have eluded me. I have not been able to breed them yet. Its a dream of mine though. I have had onebheckel male x domestic female that produced a handful of fry.
Attachment 139886
The male came from a friend of mine whom I adopted from. That had to have been about 17 rears ago. None of the fry survived.
I will try again one day. Gotta save the best for last.:)
Re: Discus I have known....
Well, Al... so many beautiful fish! :) I'm confident in saying that you've had more discus than I have had all species combined!
