Congrats! Very nice looking fish! I'll have to do some research on discus everyone seems to be getting them but I don't know much about them.

Pretty good!

Currently they're getting a mix of beefheart (stendker goodheart mix), D50 flake, and D50 pellets. They gobble the beefheart up the moment it hits the water...as for the flakes and pellets...well lets just say they get eaten
but the fish like me to know that they are offended :P
Was cleaning my powerhead driven sponge filter yesterday, and one of the Red Turquoise discus came up to my hand and started nudging it, I'm not entirely sure what he/she was after, but it was pretty cool.

Question for all you discus'y types out there.
The pigeon blood (right hand side) in the top photo, seems to - for lack of a better word - claimed part of the tank. He or she..is deliberately chasing the others out of that area if they swim too close. It allows the other pigeon blood (left hand side) in the top photo, to come into that area, and they "sort of" swim with each other. Is this a pair bonding? I wouldn't have thought they would do it this soon..
