Nice fish. Do u think i could keep another kind of cichlid in my 29 gal tank #2 in my sig? Like discus or apistos or kribs?

....and here is Barbosa....looks as though in his younger days he may have been in a few either "bar fights" or just an at sea battle, probably the latter being as he is a pirate discus

He/she (Julie says he) is only beginning to get color and is apparently known as a brilliant blue.....

.....oh yeah, has anyone ever heard of discus being so personable, that they will actually bite your fingers? These guys do....and I thought discus were supposed to be extremely shy......

....probably not discus with the rtbs in there....would stress them out pretty bad, even rams are a little stressful for them. Luckily for me, I bought these guys from a store that was keeping them with africans , so they are pretty tolerant of my rams and kribs, actually stand up for themselves and mouthfight the wee guys

 

[fish_r_great]

Anything else thats compatible cichlid wise?

Edit: FOTM for barbosa hes great

Beautiful dissss-cusssss,FM!

I LOVE how you get the crisp closeups. Very nice! FOTM for both. LMAO

You're used to hearing that by now,huh?

 

[Doggfather]

great discus!!!

 

[freshmike]

FOTM nominations never get old They are a great compliment, even if they never get to see victory.....actually I am sort of glad they never win, would hate to have fish thinking they are better than me because I have never won HOTM (human of the month) .....and you know they would, fish are just like that Thanks for the compliments everyone!

THAT is Bootstraps? WOW, he is really brightening up!!! Wonderful fish, wonderful picture. Nomination for HOTM (human of the month).

ALASKA

 

[HeatherSweetness]

I'll second that,FM.

HOTM nomination for freshmike!

Maybe the fish will accept you now and stop biting.

LMAO @ you guys!!!
