So a little over a month ago I was in a local tropical fish store and they had these angelfish.

Knowing what they were, and knowing how rare they are in the pet trade I purchased all five he had. If I am lucky I will get a breeding pair or two and be able to sell the young for 50.00 each.

Here is the photo I took today with the Pentax K-1 in APS-C mode with my 14mm lens made for APS-C bodies (the K-1 can shoot both full frame and APS-C modes).

I've had a few. Had a legit breeding pair, but my homemade tank sprung and very big leak so I just gave them to the pet store. My favorite freshwater fish. Never had the stones to step up to discus.

Discus aren't hard to keep. weekly or more often water changes, and good food are the key.

I have had Discus that I raised from dime size and then sold, and I have six wild type Discus arriving Tuesday this week.

Your tank looks good.




The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything.

Thank you. I added some Batata Red F2 (Wild caught offspring) Discus also.

Does it make me old that I know the reference and laughed?
