thanks

why are dynamic pages in the
 
The blackish one looks like a wild discus( just by the coloring). The light colored one is what is known as a pigeon blood discus. I own a pigeon blood discus, and is has had many health issues and I dont think that it is going to make it. Your pigeoon blood looks like it has some fin and tail rot on the tail or it is just his coloring. They look beautiful!
 
pigeon blood thats it........ couldnt remember the name.....
wild discus you say humm

tail rot? na hope its just his coloring, i hope? the pigeon blood ones seem fine...
 
They look kinda misshapen (not always a bad thing, but can mean stunting) and thin to me. I think I'd remove the gravel and start feeding em up. What size are they?
 
I'd say they both look fairly young, jsut because neither has coloured-up particularly strongly yet. The first one is possibly not wild, but just a juvenille, hence the lack of very bright colours. I'd take a guess at a turq. of some sort. Discus breeders /sellers seem to choose any name for a colouration, and there are generally more than one in use.... I give up, and rely on pigeon-blood, or not pigeon blood....!
I'd call the second a young marlboro though.
 
there eatting well not shy atall but 3 of them are about 2" and one about 2and a half " had them about 2 months now...... defo goin to get more.....
 
id say the darker is maybe an F1 or F2, closer to wild generation. but most likely got red turq and green in em
the other is just a pigeon blood, possibly silver pigeon blood.
