Is the discus ok? Looks like it's sick a little?

I don't look at a ton of discus photos, but I just saw the fish and it reminded me of.... a little bit

OH MAN.  I love this!  I am a big fan of bottom dwellers, especially nurse sharks, gobys, corydoras, etc.  I like this guy, what a cool fish! Must. do. research.

@Fish Folk Grabbing the phone, going into 50mm lens mode, let's see what we can find in the tanks today 🙂

@nabokovfan87 yeah, the Discus is an old man. His eye was an early life defect — that’s how I got him cheap. He’s got battle scars and abrasions galore. Takes a lickin’ but keeps on tickin’.

The bottom dweller is a male Southern Tessellated Darter. Total boss!

Awesome to hear.  Some fish just need a good home.

1.  Bloody Mary Neocaridina Shrimp, waiting for it's water change 🙂

2. This is El Nino Fern, Bolbitis heteroclita, and it's one of those plants I watch every day just to see what on earth it's doing.  Trying to be successful with it.



3.  Anubias Nana Petite.  This is one I am also watching every day.  I can't wait for it to be around this rock and surrounding the rocks.  The contrast is really cool.  This is one of my anubias I've been trying to recover for a very long time.

4.  One of the big Amanos.  Discord definitely crushes images and makes them blury, but on the phone, I really adore this photo. 🙂

5.  Guess how difficult it is to get a photo of a fast moving fish in a high flow tank!?  Pretty hard.  These are some swordtails that have a mix of green, black, yellow hues and I'm working on expanding the colony size.  Steps in motion today!  One of these two guys will be my breeder males, probably both.

It's hard to get these orange lemon tetras in focus. Best I could do tonight.

Gorgeous shots — all of them! Love your stocking. I’m going to try Swordtails outside this summer in one of my 40-gal tubs.

I found an old article on goliad farms.  I might have to see what they have to add to this group!
